Project Description
City staff has prepared plans to restore Pennsylvania Street from 8th Street to 9th Street to its original brick condition. This will be done with a flyash treated subgrade, seven inches of asphalt, one inch of sand, and one layer brick surface course. The existing Pennsylvania Street is currently constructed with one layer of bricks overlaid with asphalt. In order to have enough bricks for the project, bricks will be harvested from 9th Street, Pennsylvania Street to Delaware Street which was constructed with two layers of brick overlaid with asphalt. 9th Street, Pennsylvania Street to Delaware Street along with the intersections of 8th & Pennsylvania, 9th & Pennsylvania, and 9th & Delaware will be reconstructed with 10" concrete on a flyash treated subgrade. In addition to the roadway improvements on street angled parking, pedestrian lighting, sidewalks, concrete crosswalks, curb and gutter, and storm sewer will be constructed as part of this project.
A Capital Improvement District request has been submitted by the development group to fund underground installation of power and cable lines. The estimated cost is $109,000 and is not included in the project cost.
Project Funding
The project is being funded with street maintenance funds allocated in the 2013 budget using account - infrastructure sale tax fund 202-3-3001-6041.
