thththth <br />will be done in two phases – first from 13 to 18 avenues, and then from 18 to 24 avenues. In both <br />t will be excavated to the roadtilities <br />phases, the streebed, any necessary repairs to underground u <br />will be made, the road <br />bed will be reconstructed, and a new street surface will be constructed. Public <br />Works Engineering designed and is managing the project, which is funded primarily through local motor <br />fuel tax revenues and transportation system development charges. <br /> <br />Wildish also has been awarded a $388,300 contract to reconstruct and resurface Fern Ridge Path from <br />the <br />City View to Garfield Street and from Chambers Street to Blue Heron Bike Bridge. The work <br />involves removing the existing asphalt path and constructing a new, 10-foot-wide concrete path surface. <br />The project was designed by Public Works Engineering, and the Oregon Department of Transportation is <br />managing the contract. Funding comes primarily from the federal Surface Transportation Program <br />s <br />(STP) and local transportation system development charges. <br /> <br />Both projects will cause some short-term inconvenience for transportation system users. Portions of <br />Hilyard Street will be closed over the summer, and motorists will be directed to use alternate routes. <br />, <br />Engineering staff is working closely with PeaceHealth, local businesses and residents to ensure critical <br />access is maintained and that inconveniences are minimized as much as possible. Sidewalks will <br />remain open for pedestrians, and the City is using a regional partnership, www.keepusmoving.info, as <br />one way to let the public know about project detours. <br /> <br />The Fern Ridge Path will be closed for several weeks while the new concrete surface cures. A <br />th <br />temporary path will be created just east of City View for cyclists to walk their bikes to 12 Avenue, which <br />has been designated as the detour route during construction. Engineering staff is working closely with <br />cycling groups to get the word out about the improvements to the path and the temporary detours. <br /> <br />For more information about the Hilyard and Patterson street paving project, contact Project Manager <br />Steve Gallup at 682-8460.
