As of writing, water main work in Winchester Village is substantially complete. Thank you for your patience! The contractor is installing curbs, sidewalks, and drives throughout the project area. During this phase, keep a lookout for door hangers that indicate project schedules and parking expectations for your specific area! Once this phase is complete, a base layer of asphalt is going to be laid down. Restoration and forestry will follow, with the top coat of asphalt coming last. The project is expected to be done ahead of schedule, with substantial completion expected prior to school resuming.

 

Winchester Woods work is also proceeding ahead of schedule. Residents can expect paving to commence the week of May 20, possibly sooner. Note that Young Drive is to be paved later in the summer. This delay is to accommodate additional engineering that may result in drainage improvements for this segment. With that said, this project was planned and funded as a street surface project only. Only drives that required a grade change that was related to the street grade change were included in the original project specifications for improvement.  With prices coming in at the near the engineer's estimate, the city has been able to address SOME additional outstanding drainage issues in this area. Not all ditches, drives, or areas will be improved at this time. We understand that this is frustrating, but we are attempting to correct known downstream capacity and grade issues as they can be included in the budget. Once complete, additional ditching and drainage work can be planned for the future. 

 

Maple, the remainder of School, a segment of Raubinger, and a segment of Elms (by the Creek) are approved for surface rehabilitation this summer. These projects such require only one or two weeks time and should remain open to traffic at nearly all times.
