Yesterday I was joined by the Chamber of Commerce and City Representatives from the Transportation, Water & Sewer and Engineering Divisions in the celebration of the completion of another important street project for the City of Fayetteville. This was an in-house project completed by the Water and Transportation divisions. There were a few challenges along the way with this particular project, but the crews and supervisors did a fine job in overcoming those challenges. They were able to effectively complete a high-quality project that improved not just the road surface, but also water lines, curbs, sidewalks, and ADA accessibility.
With the completion of this and other recent projects such as California Drive, the City is well on its way to meeting 2007 goals for 20,000 feet of new sidewalk and 20 miles of street overlay. In fact, year to date we’ve hit just under 10,000 feet of sidewalk and 13.85 miles of overlay. With productivity increasing significantly in the later half of the year (because of spring weather conditions), our crews should hit those targets with ease.
