Roadway Improvements
All roadways that are being replaced on the above phasing plan will be replaced with concrete streets. Road widths on Dunham Street and Harrison Avenue will remain unchanged. 8th street will be narrowed slightly to 26’ in width, as it is a low-traffic residential street. All sidewalks crossing the streets being replaced will be brought up to the most current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.
Sewer Improvements
This project will separate the combined sewer system on the east end of the project (between Madison Avenue and Main Street) by installing new storm sewer lines. These storm sewer lines will convey storm sewer flows south along 8th street to a newly installed detention basin east of James Madison School. The new stormwater lines are sized appropriately to allow for the future separation of approximately 32 acres in the surrounding area (see image below). These areas will be separated in the future, as roadway improvements take place in the area. In addition to sewer separation, the project will replace any existing brick stormwater intakes in the project area.
