We'll until I stepped outside of my house this morning I was under the impression winter was a thing of the past and Spring could begin in earnest, I guess I was wrong, at least for now!
Towards the end of March 2014 we met with the contractor, engineer, and sub-contractors to discuss the completion of the project since weather was improving. The key elements that are left is the completion of the rain gardens in the residential areas and plantings and seeding along the project routes. The seeding contractor was in attendance at the meeting and gave every indication that they would be onsite as soon as weather allowed for the seeding to occur.
Once the weather allows the priority for seeding will be the Sunrise Pointe Golf Course where the seeder will re-seed a few spots along the newly formed berms and also redo the planting of the plugs along the two ponds on holes #1 and 9. They have a few trees to replace around the smaller pond by the condo's which should be done about the same time as the seeding at the golf course.
The concrete contractor will have a section of cul-de-sac to remove on Rose Lane this spring once weather conditions allow and the prime contractor will be finishing the rain gardens so that the seeding sub-contractor can plant those soon after they are done at the golf course.
Disruption to the general flow should be minimal during the remaining portions of work. The work on the golf course will take at maximum two days and then some time where golfers will have to remain off of the areas that were newly seeded. If work goes well and weather cooperates we should see quick growth and minimize the minor access restrictions on the course.
Likewise in the residential areas the work should cause limited disruptions with the majority of the impact being temporary while the contractor is onsite. The biggest distraction will be the time required to remove and replace the portion of Rose Lane that could impact parking in that neighborhood for a week or two.
Sorry for the minimal postings during the winter months but there hasn't been a ton of things happening on the project. Now that "Spring has Sprung" or so we hope city staff will work diligently with the engineer to ensure that the project is finished in a quick timely manner. Thus posts will be more frequent as we progress as well.
