[0:05] hi I'm John Muma with the city of

[0:07] Lakeville and the construction services

[0:09] division i'm here to talk about the

[0:10] street reconstruction

[0:12] projects the city of Lakeville

[0:15] reconstructs aging sections of city

[0:17] roadway and underground infrastructure

[0:19] each year but what does that mean for

[0:22] residents or business owners in the

[0:23] affected area what will your

[0:25] neighborhood look like during

[0:27] construction what can you expect how

[0:29] will it affect your daily routine and

[0:31] how will you stay informed throughout

[0:33] the project the city street

[0:35] reconstruction process begins several

[0:36] years before any work takes place the

[0:39] city of Lakeville uses a pavement

[0:40] management plan to rate the conditions

[0:43] and useful life of the streets and

[0:45] utility this data is used to form a

[0:47] capital improvement plan that map out 5

[0:51] years of road and utility reconstruction

[0:53] to begin the process residents and

[0:55] businesses are invited to a neighborhood

[0:57] meeting at the meetings city staff

[0:59] introduce the project and ask for

[1:01] feedback from property owners following

[1:03] the meeting a feasibility report is

[1:05] generated and given to the city council

[1:08] if the city council approves the project

[1:10] survey crews begin the collection of

[1:12] preconstruction data in early spring the

[1:14] project is bid on by contractors which

[1:16] allows the city to determine assessment

[1:19] rates for the project after these

[1:20] assessment rates are generated property

[1:22] owners are invited to a second

[1:24] neighborhood meeting and an assessment

[1:26] hearing with the city council upon

[1:28] approval of the assessment hearing the

[1:30] city sends out preliminary construction

[1:33] schedules to all affected property

[1:35] owners as construction begins the first

[1:37] items you will notice will be flagging

[1:39] and marking from private utility

[1:41] companies as well as marking for spot

[1:43] curb and gutter removal and replacement

[1:45] during the construction mail services

[1:48] will be delivered to temporary mailboxes

[1:51] located just outside the working area

[1:52] while the United States Post Office

[1:54] determines that specific date and

[1:56] location of the move city staff will

[1:58] post this information by placing door

[2:00] hangers on your front door next utility

[2:02] crews move into the area with excavation

[2:05] equipment to begin rebolting valves and

[2:07] hydrants as well as making repairs and

[2:10] improvements to the existing storm sewer

[2:12] system spot curb and gutter replacement

[2:14] may also take place this means removing

[2:16] damaged sections of the curb that

[2:18] doesn't allow the proper flow of storm

[2:20] water down the curb line example of this

[2:22] would be settled curb excess damage or

[2:25] back pitched curb panels concrete

[2:28] sidewalk and pedestrian ramps will also

[2:30] be inspected for damage and replacement

[2:32] if needed concrete curbing or sidewalk

[2:35] that are removed in front of an asphalt

[2:37] driveway typically trigger an asphalt

[2:39] patch behind the curb or walk after new

[2:42] concrete cures concrete driveways that

[2:44] are in good condition typically do not

[2:46] require a patch behind the new curbing

[2:48] concrete driveways typically can support

[2:50] themselves when the damaged curbing is

[2:52] removed while asphalt driveways need to

[2:54] be supported by the concrete to maintain

[2:56] its

[2:57] integrity access to driveways will be

[2:59] maintained during construction however

[3:02] driveways will be inaccessible if curb

[3:04] panels or sidewalk directly in front of

[3:06] the path of your driveway are required

[3:08] to be removed and replaced after

[3:10] replacement the concrete needs to cure

[3:12] for 5 days street parking will be

[3:15] required during this time city staff

[3:17] will communicate with you during the

[3:19] entire process the next step is

[3:22] reclaiming the street's existing asphalt

[3:24] surface the asphalt material is ground

[3:27] and mixed in with the existing gravel

[3:29] base to produce a new base for new

[3:31] asphalt surface crews will work to

[3:34] reshape the profile of the streets by

[3:36] reestablishing a centerline or crown for

[3:38] shredding water during storm events

[3:41] roadways may be a little bumpy and dusty

[3:43] during this process the road shaping

[3:45] process creates a 3-in step from the

[3:48] curb to the gravel this bump requires

[3:50] caution as you enter your driveways to

[3:53] keep dust down during the construction

[3:54] period water trucks will periodically be

[3:57] used on the exposed gravel surface after

[4:00] the initial phase of constructions are

[4:02] complete the first layer of asphalt

[4:04] paving is placed roads remain open to

[4:07] traffic during the paving process paving

[4:09] crews will direct traffic during the

[4:11] paving and rolling operation once the

[4:13] first layer of paving is installed the

[4:15] contractor will begin restoration of

[4:17] areas behind the curb this restoration

[4:19] will include driveway patches dog fences

[4:22] irrigation systems landscape features

[4:25] mailbox reinstallation top soil seating

[4:28] and blanketing the last step of the

[4:30] construction process happens in the fall

[4:31] once all the phases of the project have

[4:33] received the first layer of asphalt and

[4:36] restoration activities this includes

[4:38] adjusting manholes and gate valves in

[4:40] the street to the proper height prior to

[4:43] installation of the second and final

[4:45] layer of asphalt roads will remain open

[4:47] to traffic during the final paving

[4:49] phases to stay informed each street

[4:51] reconstruction projects page on the city

[4:54] of Lakeville's website will continue to

[4:56] be updated on the project's page you can

[4:58] also sign up for a weekly email update
