Neighborhood Meeting
Thursday, March 27, 2008
6:30 p.m.
Warner Park Community Recreation Center
1625 Northport Drive


The City is proposing a project on E Gorham St, from west of N Baldwin St. thru the N. Livingston St. intersection, the main purpose of which is to replace the sanitary sewer main constructed between 1904 and 1906. The project will also include new water main, repair of deteriorated sections of curb and new asphalt surface.

The primary purpose of this meeting is to discuss issues related to managing traffic during construction. Two option being considered. The first is to close the road to through traffic, during construction, with a traffic detour. Closing the roadway to through traffic will shorten the duration of the project and reduce the cost. The second option would allow through traffic through the construction zone. If the roadway is kept open to traffic, the capacity of the roadway will be limited to less than half of the existing capacity, during peak travel times.

What the notice doesn’t say is that there is additional work happening on E Gorham from N. Livingston to Butler as well. It’s sure to be another summer of messy traffic.
