Good afternoon,
We are inching ever so closely to the finish line for the Moss Ave. project. UCM is still working on the punch list and odds and ends and hope to have everything wrapped up by the end of next week. This includes the punch list, asphalt patching, and signs. Oberlander has finished the lights and the PED buttons at the MacArthur Intersection. We are aware there are 3 lights that donโt work on the north side in between MacArthur and Garfield, the city is working on that issue and hope to have it resolved early next week. Kelch has finished with sod and topsoil. They will continue to water for the next few weeks. Please refrain from mowing the new sod until the roots take. The final item to be addressed will be the pavement markings. Varsity striping is aware that they can come in any time, and we are on their schedule, but they canโt give us an accurate timetable on when they will be in. They are the most popular subcontractor this time of year as everyone tries and gets striping done before the spec. window closes and its too cold. I promise you that when I know they are coming; I will let you know. They may only give a 12-hour notice, but I will let you know via email. For now, Union Hill will remain closed and Moss will stay on way from Sheridan to MacArthur. Douglas and Garfield are open. Hopefully next week we have a better idea on when striping is going to happen and at that point we will make a decision on when the road will be open to 2-way traffic. Lights will stay flashing at MacArthur due to it still being one way and the fact that the traffic pattern at the intersection on Moss has changed. If you have anything that you would like to be looked at by myself and Mandy, now is the time to speak up, because I donโt know if UCM will be on site after next week.
If you have any questions/comments/concerns, now is the time to do so before its too late.
Appreciate your patience the last 2 years, I promise the end is near.
Enjoy the weekend,
