All right. Uh, so it's 5 o'clock here. Um, so we're going to get this started off here just uh, uh, I appreciate everybody's time. Um, and we also are live streaming this. So, um, and recording it. So, if any of you have a question or something that we went through too fast, you want to watch a recording, that'll be available. um if not tomorrow, sometime early next week. But uh to kick this off, um welcome. This is the 2026 road rehab kind of pre-construction meeting. So I am Mike Ka, the assistant city engineer here with uh Jeff Tutant. Um he's our consultant who will be on site quite a bit. Um and then we also have Tony Kutsky who's our city engineer passing out handouts. Then also in the back we have Jen Payne, um another assistant city engineer. and then Kyle who will be the main field rep from Bolton and Mang who you'll see on a daily basis during the construction process. Um so we'll just jump right into the meeting. Um go over kind of what can expect for communication uh phasing and schedule um what the construction process is going to look like and then try to get ahead of some of the questions that we anticipate you have. Um, and then following that, we'll have a open house similar style that we've had for some of our other um, neighborhood meetings. So, you've all received mailings um, for this meeting. Going forward, there's not going to be a lot of mailings just because the mail is too slow for the updates that happen with construction. So, if you want to stay updated with what's going to happen with this construction project, this is really the best way to do it. So, we've got a QR code here, um, and also on those handouts and on the mailings. We really do want to encourage you if you want to know what the progress is on um this construction project to sign up for this in touch. We send out weekly at least weekly um notifications on on what the status is and more if something significant changes. So this is really going to be the best way to stay in touch so we can provide you kind of up tothem minutee details and updates on the project. Um, so this is kind of the step by step and if you need any help, if you've got a smartphone and you want some help signing up, we can certainly help you. But, um, this is how you would do it if you wanted to do on a desktop or if you wanted to try to do it on your phone, you can scan the QR code and scroll down and there's an inouch. Also, we will have door hangers. So, um, if you don't want to sign up for the InTouch, we will put a physical notice on each one of your doors before we start the phase. Um, and for any other kind of significant part of construction that that you should know about, um, that door hanger will have the project hotline on. And that number goes to our field representative, who most likely is going to be Kyle, who's out in the back right now. But that's the person that you're going to want to call if you have a question about access, about impacts, about anything construction related. He has the ability to come out, meet you on site, look at it, talk to you over in in detail. Um, so that's going to be really your your best option if you want to talk to somebody about construction. Uh, and then we also do have an email address and this can be found on the the project website as well. So I think most of you at this point are probably familiar with the um project area. So, it's kind of south of Afton Road here. Um, east of Ojiway Park and then most of it is uh west of Tower Drive here with this little bit in this Boulder Ridge area. Um, and then also Aftton Road between Tower Drive and Radio Drive. So, hopefully you live in one of those areas. So, generally the the scope of this project includes uh full depth pavement replacement. So, all the pavement is going to be replaced. um some spot curb repair. There will be some sections where we'll have some longer section of curb repair, but generally speaking there, most of the curb is going to stay in place. Um we're going to replace um most of the trails, at least the public trails that are in the area. Um we also have a trail extension along Aftton Road. Um we'll have some upgrades to the pedestrian ramps, which are the kind of accesses to the trails. Um, we'll have drain pipe installation where people have had some drainage issues in their homes so that they'll have the ability to connect to these drain pipes and connect right to the storm sewer. Um, and then some water man and sanitary work um along Dunore Road and then just some other um spot utility repairs and replacements. So, this is the phasing that we have um proposed right now. Um, I will say that this is certainly subject to change. Um, but right now this is what we have and if anything does change that would be updated through the the InTouch notifications. Um, but right now we're planning on starting on kind of the north side of the project. So Aftton Road and this kind of blue color is going to be our phases one and two which will be starting here um by the end of the month is is what we're expecting. Um following that we'll move start moving south here into the Havenwood Circle area. um and Boulder Ridge and then finishing up kind of in the south project area. And we're expecting most of these phases to be around 6 weeks where we're doing utilities. It might be a little bit longer. So, um this is the construction phase that we're we're expecting. So, 5 to 10 weeks. 10 weeks is where we're seeing um that utility work. That's that's really just along Dunmo Road. And that'll be um some of the first work that we get done here. So the first few weeks will be, you know, traffic control and then we they do have a lot of utility work. That'll be several weeks of utility replacement. Um that's the time when they put in the drain pipe and then the pavement and curb removals and then any other concrete work. And then it'll be a week or two of grading the street and then paving the first layer. And then after they pave the first layer, they'll come back and patch any driveways that have been impacted. Um and then following that, they'll do the top soil and turf restoration. And then at the very end of the project that'll come in and pave the second layer of pavement. So you'll notice if you're in one of the earlier phases, there'll be a couple of months where you'll have the manhole structure sticking out a couple of inches. Um that's intentional so that we can do the the last lift of pavement at the very end and then there won't be any construction vehicles that are driving on the the final lift of pavement to kind of protect it. So, we have a short video here um for those of you that maybe aren't as familiar with construction so we can kind of break down what to expect during the construction project. The city improves sections of neighborhood street. Every year, the city improves sections of neighborhood streets in a variety of areas of Woodbury. Most of the roads are in residential areas, which is why city staff conduct a series of neighborhood meetings, open houses, and public hearings related to the roadway rehabilitation project. Residents attending these meetings have the opportunity to learn about the construction process, special assessments and funding, how it will impact them, and ask questions about the project. Special assessments are a charge imposed for improvements that benefit nearby properties. The amount of the charge bears a direct relationship to the benefit the property receives and is based on the city's assessment policy. Assessments are used as a partial project funding source in addition to general tax revenues and other sources. Once the project is formally approved by city council, construction begins. Before construction begins on residential streets, you will receive a notice on your front door handle. This notice will provide important information regarding the construction schedule and impacts to your property. The city will also provide weekly construction updates through its intouch email service. One of the first steps in the process is removing portions of the old pavement. A large machine proceeds slowly down the street as it removes the top surface of the pavement, leaving a rough but drivable surface. In most cases, the rows remain open to traffic through the pavement removal process. Depending on the location of the project, utility improvements might be done in conjunction with the roadway work. These improvements include sewers, water manes, natural gas lines, and communication cables. Water man work may require short-term water shut offs, which are usually 8 hours or less. Notice will typically be provided 48 hours before shutting off water. Utility work requires extensive digging and usually results in temporary lane or roadway closures that may impact access to properties. Motorists should be aware of detours in these areas. All projects involve curb and gutter work approximately 2 weeks before curb construction sections are evaluated and marked for removal. If your curb needs to be replaced, you will be notified and given information on how it will impact your residence. Once curb work is completed, it cannot be driven over for 5 to 7 days. During construction, any irrigation systems, dog fences, or other private features within the right of way will have to be moved by the property owner to prevent damage during the construction process. The contractor will not be responsible for repairing or replacing any damage to these features due to construction. Asphalt driveways damaged during curb replacement will be patched. Damaged concrete driveways will be removed and replaced. Areas with full curb replacement may require the mailboxes to be removed during construction. The contractor will remove and reinstall your mailbox if necessary. A temporary mailbox will be provided for mail service at an alternate location. Curb work will also impact your lawn. The contractor will replace disturbed areas with seed and hydro mulch. The contractor will care for the area for 45 days. Residents are encouraged to water and care for the areas to achieve the best results. Prior to final paving, the street will be thoroughly swept. After this step, the final pavement process will begin. After the first layer of pavement has been placed, and prior to placing a subsequent layer, tack oil is applied to the road. Residents should avoid driving on the tack oil because it can stick to driveways and vehicles. With the tack oil in place, crews will then begin the paving process after the new asphalt is rolled and has cooled. Once the contractor is done rolling the new pavement, it is ready to be driven over. If you have any questions regarding the project process, assessments, or the scope of the project proposed for your neighborhood, please contact the city of Woodbury engineering department at 651-7143593. Thanks, Wakanda. I am Mayor Jeff Sod and I want to personally thank everyone for taking the time to watch the first village of Wakanda services showcase. >> Sorry about that everyone. Um, thanks Mike. As Mike had mentioned, my name is Jeff Tuchant. I work with a cult consulting firm that works in the city of Woodbury. Uh we oversee the construction on these types of recon projects. I've been in the city of Woodbury for about 25 years now. Um working on various projects very similar to this one. So I'm going to kind of expand on what you saw there in that detail or in that video as far as what to expect on this project in particular. One of the first things that we're going to be doing on this project, you're going to see some of the temporary mailboxes getting installed and then you might see some of these wood stakes sticking up out of the ground. They'll be positioned in various locations behind the existing concrete curb. Those stakes that you see in the ground, those are reference points. They have uh information on them that's tied to the concrete curb. So, that's important to try to protect those. If you do see those uh get removed, um you can call that project hotline just to let us know and we'll make sure we get new ones installed because I know sometimes folks do come along and and yank those out. Um so, just one of the things to kind of look for. As far as the mail goes in this neighborhood, there is a mix of both individual mailboxes and um I'll call community mailboxes like the one you see in the lower photo here. These mailboxes are only going to be moved if they're impacted by the construction itself. So, in a couple of locations where we're doing the utility work out there, we're going to be um requiring to install temporary mailboxes. And then also on Aftton Road when we do that work just because that work um is kind of tight corridor there and with the work going on there's going to be cars that'll be kind of close to where the existing mail is and we didn't want folks um struggling trying to get out to their mailbox when there's uh cars driving by through that area and construction traffic at the same time. So if you're going to get temporary mail set up for you during the project, you will get a door hanger notice that'll give you information and details on where that temporary box will be located. If you do not feel comfortable with the temporary mailboxes, you can reach out to the post office and have them hold your mail. So, that is an option to you. Um, if you don't feel comfortable with the temporary mailboxes, they'll be set up like a temporary bank like you kind of see in the photo here in Upper right where it's a kind of a row of mailboxes for everybody in the area that needs temporary mail. The utility improvements that we're doing on this project is going to be a lot of spot work. So, as Mike had mentioned, we have some storm sewer work where we're putting like a drain pipe behind the curb. That drain pipe is being installed so people can connect to it with their existing sump pumps to try to collect that water. I'll show some slides later on to kind of what to expect if we're installing that drain pipe in front of your yard to give you that opportunity to be able to connect a sump drain so it doesn't dump out into the street. So, we're not doing that everywhere. The locations that we're doing at that at are locations where residents have specifically reached out or public works has noticed it as a safety issue during the winter months from the water discharging going down the road and creating icy uh slick patches. Um the other utility work is kind of the spot replacement of different structures throughout the site. um you might see them dig up one one particular storm drain or something like that because when we did our pre-construction evaluation over the last year, we determined that there was something wrong or something failing in those structures. Also included in this project, there's two locations. Those residents have already received some door hanger notices where we're going to be um replacing some sewer and water mane more extensively. Those areas had some uh I'll call it quite a bit of damage in the existing infrastructure there. And to minimize the impacts of the existing buildings, some of those existing utilities were really close to the existing buildings. We're actually going to realign it slightly so it's a little bit cheaper to reinstall um the new lines. And then in the future um we don't have to worry about impacts to any of the buildings or homes that are in those areas. Couple examples of the pavement removal process. That video shows it great where you can see this huge truck going down the road and then you can see the dump trucks loaded up loading up in front of it. These trucks, I'll call it, are probably one of the most important things to kind of pay attention as far as if you have little kids in the area. Um, these trucks are always going to have a guy standing by walking with them. They move at like a walking pace and and like I said, it's if you have kids that are out and like to play in the front yard, um, it's if you could um, kind of watch for these types of things just because them are things where um, I like I said, they take a lot of care. They'll have a guy walking along with the equipment, but if someone goes out and runs, they do have some blind spots on them. But they do, like I said, they do watch. They're definitely taking all the safety precautions they can. Um, but anything residents can do to help helps us through the construction process. Driveways in this project are going to be spot replacement, and it's really going to depend on whether or not we're replacing curb in front of your driveway. Where we're doing the full utility work, we're going to be doing some segments of full curb replacement. There's also some segments on Afton Road. By full curbment replacement, I mean there's a long stretch of curb that we're going to do at one time. Generally, when we do these long stretches of curb, as you see in the photo up here, they place them with a machine, and that machine needs to uh needs a little bit of space back behind the curb to be able to do their work. So, we cut the driveways back. Generally, in those areas, it might be like four or five feet. Um, in areas where we're doing spot curb, if it's an existing concrete driveway, we'll remove the concrete curb panel, the spot curb panel, place it back by hand, and we generally don't impact the concrete driveway that's existing. If it's a asphalt driveway, because it's an asphalt driveway, they're usually a lot thinner than what the curb section is. When we take out that curb, they usually slough or get damaged or or kind of fail there. So, generally, if you have an asphalt driveway, we'll have to do a saw cut full width. Um, you can kind of see the driveway here on the right side where they have the driveway is kind of broke off. Then you can kind of see the other one that's kind of a I'll call it a patch that's gone in in front of it. So, um, if you're not quite sure, generally when we mark the curb out in front of your driveway, um, if you're not quite sure what we're going to be doing in those areas, that notice that you get right before we start work in those areas, that'll give you more details, too, and kind of go through what I just talked about and what to look for, uh, for our spot curb replacement. Generally, when we replace it, you're going to see arrows that point into the panel getting replaced. So if you see arrows pointing into a spot, the in in between the arrows is the piece getting removed and replaced. Once we get all the spot concrete work done and the areas where we have full curb, the next thing the contractor is going to be doing is grading the existing gravel. Throughout this project, they're going to supplement the existing gravel um with a little bit of additional gravel to bring it up to grade. Uh this work uh usually takes some I'll call it might be 3 4 days to get through a phase. At this time, it'll look like not a whole lot's going on in the site because they're going to work in one area for a while and then kind of work their way down the site throughout the project area, but it's going to look like not much is going on unless they're working right in front of your home. So, don't be surprised if there's some lulls in the construction phase as they work through or construction process as they work through these phases. The um compaction equipment that they use for this is a vibratory type equipment. So, when that equipment comes through, you might notice some vibrations um that you'll feel in the house. I always tell people if you're really concerned about something that you have on the walls, you might want to take it down. Historically, the wall homes in this area are generally far enough back from the street. We don't haven't had any kind of vibrations cause problems for homes that are set back like these are. Um but it is something if you have something that's really precious to you on the wall, um if you want to take the precaution, it's probably a good idea. Um but like I said, generally not a problem. Um, just something to kind of pay attention to. The paving process is going to last about one to two days in each one of these phases. Generally, they're going to start in the I'll call it culde-sac areas or the internal parts of the site and then work their way out. Um, the first lift of pavement is going to go on directly on the gravel. When they do this work, um, their equipment is going to take up about half the width of the roadway at one time. They'll have guys that are standing there as they're doing this work, but just kind of keep keep in mind that as they're doing this throughout the day, their trucks and equipment is going to move at a walking pace. So, if you have anything planned as far as uh appointments trying to get in and out when we get near that paving process, this new pavement can be driven on about 30 minutes after it comes out out from behind the paver. So there there's not a very long duration that you're impacted, but if you are concerned about trying to make it to some appointments, you might want to look at maybe parking in one of the adjacent phases where construction isn't actively occurring when we have the paving going on. Otherwise, if you're not sure, feel free to reach out to that hotline too and pay I'll call it and pay attention to the inouch updates that come out on a weekly basis because they'll give you more detailed information as far as uh what that schedule looks like when we're paving in each phase. Once we got that first layer of pavement down, this is when we can start cleaning up the site. We start placing top soil throughout the boulevard areas that are disturbed. When we do spot curb, it's generally you're just going to see us replacing those spots that we impacted with a spot curb replacement. It's usually about 3 ft behind the panels getting replaced and usually about a foot or two each side past where the the concrete was replaced. Uh, so we got to take out a little bit wider area so we can set our concrete forms in there and make sure that concrete curb is uniform with the existing curb that's there. Um, so in these pictures you can kind of see where we're doing full curb replacement. That disturbance is slightly farther back here. It's probably closer to 5 ft. Um, in this particular photo and then you can see the restoration that we do. The contractor will come in and they'll place seed and then they'll spray this green type product over the top of it called hydramulch. This green product works for I'll call it a couple good purposes. It helps bring moisture in to the area um and helps hold it into the ground and it also helps hold the top soil and seed in place so it doesn't erode away if we get rain events. That's green color that you see will kind of fade to brown and then you should see grass starting to sprout up. Usually it starts to sprout up. I'll call it in about 3 weeks. During the summer months it might take a little bit longer. What we do on a project like this, the contractor is responsible to get 70% coverage in the project area where he sees he's responsible to get that. We give him about 45 days. Then we'll go through do an inspection on the project. Any areas that don't have that coverage, he'll have to come back in and recede. Uh so depending on the timing of the year that your phase is done, he might if he you might see him go out and recede that, I'll call it roughly a month to two months in spots where things haven't come up. The video also mentioned the contractor will be out here watering. And in addition to that, any watering that he's doing, we also appreciate any watering that the homeowners can do in in addition above and beyond. Um the contractor will come through and he'll literally drive a truck down the road. You might not even notice when he does it and a truck will come through and it'll spray some water on it. Um he's not going to be able to get that consistent, I'll call it water that you could as a homeowner individually looking at one yard and spraying spraying it by yourself. Some homeowners that are very particular about their yard opt to do sod. If they want to do sod, they got to do it on their own at their own price, but or at their own cost. But if they do want to do sod, we recommend reaching out to that hotline again because you can call that phone number and we can make sure the contractor leaves the top soil slightly low so you can get that sod placed at the right elevation. Throughout construction, if you're in the spot curb areas, the only residents that are going to be impacted are the ones that have curb getting removed in front of their driveway. If you don't have curb getting removed in front of your driveway and you live a spot curb removal replacement area, you're not going to have any impact as far as being able to get in and out of your driveway throughout construction with the exception of I'll call it that few times like when they're paving right in front of your driveway for 30 minutes. Otherwise, you'll be able to get in and out. Generally, the contractor is going to be working between the hours of 7 and 7. He can work on Saturdays, but he can't work on Sundays or holidays. So, if you have a one of the scenarios where your driveway is getting replaced or you're getting concrete all the way across your driveway getting replaced, we recommend that you um park, I'll call it outside that phase area during the course of that curb placement. But if you want to park in front of your homes in the evening, if you got groceries or something to come and bring and drop off, you can go ahead and do that. Um, if you have anybody that has special needs where you have to get in and out, call that project hotline number and we can work with the contractor be able to come up with a solution to be able to keep you being able to get in and out. Here's a couple examples of what to expect if we're installing that storm drain service for some pump discharges. So, what we install is a pipe that's generally going to be located I'll call it anywhere from 3 to 5t behind the curb. Ideally, um it might be a little bit farther back behind the curb. It really depends on where the existing electric, gas, and fiber utilities are in that corridor. So, ideally, we're putting this line as close as we can to the curb. That's our goal. Um when we install it, we're going to install it and put a cap flush with the surface of the ground. These pictures are a couple examples of homeowners that have um tied their existing overground connection into that uh discharge pipe that we installed. That way it doesn't discharge down the street. So that's one of the options that homeowners have to them. Another option that homeowners can do, some will elect to connect to it underground. So you could hire your own contractor to install a pipe underground and connect to this underground and cut it off. Generally, this pipe is going to be located about two to three feet in depth behind where it's underground behind the curb. So, there is some depth to it if you do wish to connect to it. Um, one thing that I always say if someone does wish to connect to it on their own, a recommendation that I have is to install kind of a secondary overflow. Um, because of the way sump pump discharges work, generally freezing is not a problem. But if there was ever some material to get in the line or something to damage that line in the future, you'd want to have a secondary backup just so your something continued to discharge properly. Some people would do it, I'll call it right where they make the connection. Some people will do it back closer to the house somewhere. But it's just something to keep in mind if you are considering having someone come in and privately install a line that's underground so you don't have to have your existing sump discharge overground. Some things to expect with pavement in Minnesota. Here in the Midwest, we have cold weathers and cold weather and we have warm weather. With that comes expansion and contraction of materials. Generally, you're going to see cracks show up in this pavement. It might not be in year one. It might not be in year two. Eventually, they're going to start showing up. Um, some will show up in year one, but as the years go on, you're progressively going to see more and more that'll show up. That's perfectly normal. What the city does to address this is they have a crack fill program where they'll come through um they'll clean out these joints and they'll put a sealant in these joints to try to protect the roadway for a longer duration. And you probably noticed that in some of the roads throughout the neighborhood as you've as you've lived here that you've probably seen that process done a few different times. Um but that's a kind of a standard process. The city has a cycle where they go through the town and do evaluations on it. Generally, they're doing that first crack fill relatively soon after the project is done. Some other maintenance practice that you might see the city do within the first couple years is they have a a rejuvenator process where they spray a oily type product on the pavement and it's supposed to help it last longer. Um, whenever they would do that type of project in the future, you'll get you would get notification and that's something that the city does at their own cost throughout town. some construction expectations. As Mike had mentioned, um we have a phasing plan laid out after meeting with the contractor. Um and that is our target to try to stay on that. If we have good weather, he might be able to bump things up and do things a little bit sooner. If we get wetter weather, we might end up getting a little bit longer and delay things a little bit as that project or as the project schedule changes. Um that's where them intouch updates come up. uh they're very important to stay kind of in touch, especially if we're working around in your phase or in your area or make sure you're paying attention to the door hanger notices. There are a lot of uh units out here that in homes um that have I'll call it gates. Generally, we're going to install a door hanger notice on a front door of a house. If a house has I'll call it a garage type surface and their only doors or accesses are through a gate, we're generally going to hang it on the gate. So, watch those two areas depending on the type of home that you have for these door hanger notices for additional information. Um, there's going to be dust in the area. The contractor is going to be coming out periodically when there is a gravel surface and spraying those areas with water. He does it for two reasons. One, to knock down the dust. One, it helps him with his compaction process. Um, so there are there's going to be area times of a lot of dust. Um, the contractor is going to be out there doing his best to keep that dust down. Um, sometimes you might see him out there three, four times a day watering it. Sometimes when the weather's a little bit uh cloudy, I'll call it. He doesn't need to water it nearly as much to try to keep the dust down. The contractor is going to try to keep paved surfaces on a lot of these spot curb areas as long as he can. Um, the exception is probably going to be the utility areas. Those areas because we have the most excavation and the most work going on. Those are going to be exposed for gravel a little bit longer. Um, recommendation is to close the close your windows as much as you can. Um, I get it is nice to keep them open periodically, but just understand there is going to be some dust in the air. No matter what the contractor tries to do to prevent it, there's going to be some level of dust in the air. Um, I had kind of talked about the blind spots as far as construction safety, but in general, when work's going on out in the area, if you do have young children, um, just make sure you're paying attention to them. Um, big equipment, it's cool to see, right? Everyone wants to see their first big equipment that drives by and see what it is and what it's doing. Um, it's perfectly fine to have a bring someone out and kind of show them what's going on. Um, just uh if you do have young children, try not to keep them unsupervised and wandering around out in the front yards. Um, talk through a lot of the resident access stuff. And once again, you'll see this number show up a lot and any of the notices that go out online. This project hotline number is the best number to call anytime something comes up and you need a quick answer. Um, the guy that's got this phone line, he's going to be answering it whenever he can. If he doesn't answer, leave a message. He'll call you relatively soon afterwards. If he's standing right next to a piece of equipment, he's not going to answer the phone, but he is going to walk away from the equipment, then see what the call was so we can call someone back and get to him right away. Things to avoid. This is kind of the don't do slide. Um, the tack was mentioned in the video. That's the bottom photo. um when they pave that final layer of pavement, they place this plaque, sticky, oily product. This is to keep them two layers of pavement bonded together when they place them. So, this gets placed by a you saw like a tanker truck that goes through right before they pave. It's generally going to be going down the street and anything that they're putting this material down on, they're going to be covering up in about an hour um or less. They'll be covering it up with the pavement surface above it. Um when they do this, they're generally going to go down one side of the road, pave one side of the road. You can kind of see from the photo, they've already covered up the one side of the road and they had just gone through the second side of the road and pl placed the black sticky stuff. Um, when they place that tack, please don't drive over it and definitely don't drive over it and drive into any driveways. If you drive up into a driveway, it will leave black marks going up into a driveway. And if you're driving over it at a higher speed, it might stick to your tires and then kick up onto your car, too. So, if you see them the one day that they're going to be paving the workhorse on your street and you see this, um I' I'd recommend not driving down the street and kind of letting them do their thing and then coming back after that layer of pavement gets placed. Again, once that layer of pavement is placed, it's only about a half an hour um from when it comes out of the machine to when you can start driving on it. The other thing you see up here in the upper left, you see tire marks going through. This is a culdesac here. Um, this particular culde-sac, we had a truck drive in through it, um, like a dump truck style truck and make a sharp turn going around the culde-sac. Um, any sharp turns and movements that you make on a brand new paved surface, you're going to see some scarring and some surface, uh, I'll call it marks. This is extreme. This guy went through right behind the paving operation. Literally, I think the pave was just around a quarter and out of the photo. um if it's caught right away, we can roll it out and and and make that kind of go away. You might see a little bit of discoloration in the surface, but it won't impact overall structural ability and integrity of the pavement. Um and I'll call it the first couple days that after we pave too, especially if it's during the heat of the summer, when you back out of driveways and you turn your steering wheel, if your car is parked in place, you're going to make some tire marks in there for the first few days. Um what I always recommend to people is try to turn your wheels as you're moving. So, it might mean you have to do I'll call it an Austin Powers where you got to drive forward and back a couple times, but try to turn your steering wheel as your car is moving. It'll just reduce the amount of those scuffs that you see in front of your house. Again, those scuffs are not they're just going to be surface um visual things that you're going to see. So, they're not going to look the prettiest. Um they'll probably last there for a decent amount of time before you see them fade away. They will eventually kind of fade away with the pavement as it ages. Um, but about the only way to avoid it is to avoid cranking your steering wheel while your vehicle is in place. The other driveway is a gentleman that decided he didn't want to uh leave his truck parked in his driveway. Um, he drove over the curb within a day after it was placed. It doesn't look too bad in this photo where he drove over it. Uh, but that curb cracked up within a couple days after that. So then we had to delay paving of the surface lay or the first layer of pavement until we could get in there and replace this concrete panel. So, everybody else in this particular phase got impacted because we had to hold up construction so we could do some additional work and get crews back in to replace things. Um, we got that not like I said, we got door hanger notices that give a good idea of when we're going to do this concrete work, when it's going to impact driveways. Um, and if you do have concerns where someone needs to get in and out because of health reasons, make sure you're calling that hotline. I'll continue to stress that that hotline is really important if you have needs to get in and out for access so we can avoid any issues like this going on throughout the construction process that'll impact all your neighbors. And >> I was just going to add about the the concrete curb in front of your driveway. You don't have to guess when it's safe to drive over. They'll put ribbon or barricades or something over your driveway and when it's ready to drive on, they'll they'll pull those away. So So yeah, you'll you'll know when it's safe to drive on. Um, so we'll jump into some of the frequently asked questions. Um, so project schedule. So we do have a couple of boards and we'll pull it up on the screen here when this is done. Um, for the phasing map that we showed before, but um, expecting starting construction here Monday next week. Um, so they're doing some utility work. So you'll see some temporary water layout. Um, and those people that are going to have construction crews in their neighborhood, they've been noticed with the door hanger notices. Um, generally streets will remain open. Um we've got a couple areas where they've got the utility work um where there'll be closures. Um and then also Aftton Road will be only open for one direction of of traffic um during that construction just because that road isn't wide enough to get the crews to work safely. So there'll be one direction of travel eastbound traffic only on Afton Road during that project. But um otherwise the roads will remain open um during construction. Jeff touched on this before, but 7 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. is the expected working hours. Um, they may go a little before or after on on some days they um if they need to warm equipment or if they're just wrapping up something for the day, they might go till 8:00 here and there, but generally we expect them to work 7 to 7. Um, and I think Jeff touched on this one as well, that you will have driveway access for the most part, unless you're in one of those kind of utility areas or if you're having the curb replaced in front of your driveway, which we will have notices for you. Um, if that's the case, um, turf restoration, um, turf will be restored. We do seed. We don't put down sod. Um, so we will have the contractor put down new dirt and um, seating and then the the contractor's responsible for getting that to grow. Um, garbage and mail. Um, we stay in touch with the post office so that they know if there's temporary mailboxes, but um, if there aren't any temporary mailboxes, there aren't any impacts to the mail. Um, and the contractor is always aware of when the trash day is so that they're not paving on on trash day. Um, so there shouldn't be any impacts to garbage or recycling um or mail service. Uh, the video touched on this one, but this one comes up quite a bit. So, if you have an irrigation system that's right along the back of the curb, if we have to replace that panel, they have to cut back a couple of feet usually. Um, and if there's irrigation there and it gets damaged, um, that's the responsibility of the property owner to replace. So, the contractor, um, cannot replace that. So, if you have questions about you've got some kind of landscaping in your front yard and you've got curb that's marked, um feel free to reach out to the project hotline and they can walk you through what those impacts are going to look like. Uh with this project, we often get people that ask if you know, as long as the contractor's in town, can they come and do my driveway? Um a lot of times they don't, and in this case, they don't just because it it kind of slows up the rest of the project. Um and a lot of these contractors are built for more of the big streets and not necessarily the residential driveways. There is an exception. Um, if there's an association that's got kind of driveways that are more similar to like a street, they they may be willing to, but just the single family driveways, they have expressed that they are not interested in um, providing quotes for that work. And then we just wanted to give you a heads up. Um, this is going to be a busy year for road construction. Um, I'm sure you've seen it um, already around town. Um but these are some of the other projects that are going to be happening kind of in this this area. So Woodlane Drive is going to have some work between um Bailey Road and Wooddale Drive. We expect that to start here in June. Um Bailey Road Water Tower um is is going up and there's several projects that are along Bailey Road. So Bailey Road is going to be um heavily impacted this year and I'm sure you've seen that it's closed between um Radio Drive and Salem Drive right now. Um, and then we also have a fiber to the home project that um is not expected to impact this neighborhood this year, but it'll be coming here in the next few years, but you may see some crews if you're ever driving around town and you see some people working in boulevards. Um, there's a large fiber project that's happening in the city. That's a a private project that the city is helping to coordinate that. And then we have the the other water treatment plant projects. Um, so these are the pipelines that are going in um that are going to help get the clean water throughout Woodberry. So Bailey Road, we mentioned there's going to be closures on Bailey Road kind of all all summer. Um, and Valley Creek uh similar to last year, but this will kind of be the stretch of Valley Creek that was not done last year. So kind of between Interlockin Parkway and and Cottage Grove Drive. Um, and then Pioneer Drive south of Bailey Road is going to have some some more impacts. And then also Hargus Parkway over by Eastridge High School. Uh so we will wrap up. We have a a few people that I think are online. So we're going to wrap up for the online folks. Um at this point we're going to break out into open house. So we already have staff that are out um behind you um that can answer questions about any specific quest any specific property questions you have. Um but that's the end of our presentation. So appreciate everybody coming out and feel free to stick around if you have specific questions.
