After a slow, rainy start, the <br />project rolled into high gear as the weather <br />improved, and substantive completion of the <br />work actually finished slightly ahead of <br />schedule. <br />Some final striping work remains. The striping <br />materials will be applied after the new concrete <br />surface is completely dry. The work will be done <br />at night to minimize traffic disruption. <br />Meanwhile, south Eugene will continue to see <br />plenty of roadwork in the coming week. <br />th <br />Patterson Street remains closed between 19 <br />th <br />and 24 avenues for reconstruction, and a <br />th <br />three-week closure of 18 Avenue between <br />Patterson and Hilyard is coming up the week of <br />July 19.

Also, <br />thnd <br />watch for repair work on Willamette Street between 46 and 52 avenues, as Eugene Sand & Gravel begins saw- <br />cutting the pavement on Monday, with daytime grinding and paving operations starting late in the week. In the <br />Crest Drive area, a milestone has been reached with the paving of Friendly Street and Storey Boulevard; but there <br />is still lots of work to be done, and motorists are likely to encounter road closures and rough patches. <br />th <br />In the mid-town area, a major project to repave 13 Avenue from Alder to Washington streets is beginning, <br />following weeks of pre-paving waterline repairs by Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB). Crews from Wildish <br />Construction will be focusing on utility adjustments and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk ramps in the <br />th <br />coming week, and moderate delays are expected. Another major project, repairs to the portion of West 18 Avenue <br />between City View and the Blue Heron Bike Bridge east of Chambers, is underway, with both EWEB and <br />Northwest Natural doing night work to relocate and repair underground utilities. Paving work by the City’s <br />contractor, Knife River, is expected to begin the week of July 19. <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />July 8, 2010 <br />
