Day 100---Good News for Everyone!!!

Great News.....after a couple of long, hot days surrounded by several hundred degrees of asphalt, everything we wanted to get surface paved in the lower bluff is done. This includes:

• Kensington
• Fisk
• Cambridge
• Woodland Circle

Each of these roads/areas are still blocked off to give the asphalt the most time to cool and set. Tonight, after the Village Board meeting, I will open each of the road blocked areas and allow traffic to flow freely.

Asphalt driveways are tentatively planned to be paved on Thursday of this week. Finish restoration will be occuring within the next week. Our hope is to be completely out of the lower bluff (except for Roxbury) within the next week or two.

UPPER BLUFF

More Good news!! McBride Water main pipe is now completed. Today, the pipe crew began water main installation on Magdeline starting at McBride. So, far, they have gotten half way down the block toward Butternut. The pipe crew will be working on residential services on McBride on Wednesday. So far, they have a clean water sample up to the valve near New Castle and the pipes were pressure tested on McBride north of New Castle today. Also today, a water sample was taken. Assuming we get that test back tomorrow, services will then continue on McBride.

Other Good News: New Castle has been built out with rock. This will make the driving surface much better, though still not the equivalent of pavement, but much better. This also allows them to get the storm pipe installed on New Castle and that was being worked on today.

Charing Cross will start getting rebuilt tomorrow; lets hope for the rain to hold off.

As we sit right now, we may be looking at getting a start on pulverizing Farwell Drive in the next couple weeks. This means that with the progress we are making, and, with another pipe crew tentatively planned to come into the Village next week, we will be looking to get started on Farwell Drive in early August.
