Town Green Construction Progress, 3/4/11


This week in the Town Green the focus was on completing work in the alleyway leading to Broad Street.  Work was done to complete the concrete pathways and brick columns leading into the area.  Also the columns were wired for the wall sconces, which will serve to light the area and increase safety. 

  

Next week the contractor plans to begin installation of the remaining plant materials.  This includes shrubs and smaller native trees in corner areas of the project and the central greenspace.  Our landscape architect consultant has been working tirelessly with Liz Gilland, the City’s Urban Forester, to ensure the proper number and size of plants in each area, as well as planning for the proper irrigation systems to each section of the project. 

The week of March 14th, the contractor will begin finishing work on the dumpster enclosures by constructing the walls which surround each area.  Landscape planting will also continue throughout this week, and the contractor will begin painting the pavement markings and adding a finish to the concrete surfaces. 

The week of March 20th, the final week of the project, the contractor will tie in asphalt to the new concrete driveways and wrap up the project with punchlist items.
