In March, Drennan Construction, LLC installed asphalt in the 2400 and 2500 blocks of Mistletoe Street and started the repaving process in the 1900 block of Dublin Street. Crews also began pouring new concrete sidewalks and driveway aprons throughout the project footprint. Roadway excavation began in the 8900 blocks of Apple and Nelson and was followed with installation of the binder layer of asphalt. The binder is one of the final layers of pavement restoration and residents are able to drive on it.

The scope of work for the $15M infrastructure improvement project may include: replacing/repairing damaged underground water, sewer and drainage lines; repairing damaged curbs and gutters; patching the roadway with asphalt; replacing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons; and installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant 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.
