The Hollygrove, Leonidas Group A project continues to make progress. Additional sewer line issues were identified, and crews began making those repairs in early February. In addition to laying new wearing course (upper layer in the roadway) layers of asphalt throughout the project area, Drennan Construction Industries, LLC completed the intersection work required at Birch and Cambronne streets. Excavation operations continued, along with forming new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections.

The scope of work for the $15M infrastructure improvement project may include: replacing/repairing damaged underground water, sewer and/or drainage lines; repairing damaged curbs and gutters; patching the roadway with asphalt; replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and installing ADA ramps at intersections. It is scheduled to be complete in the second quarter of 2021.

Waggoner Engineering Inc. is the project designer. The project is funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The presentation from the March 26, 2020, public meeting about the project is available here.
