The City of Grandview’s 2010 Asphalt Overlay Program, Slurry Seal Program, Sidewalk Repair Program, and the Curb Repair Program have been completed. Staff is currently working on the preparations for proposed 2011 programs.
Botts Road Reconstruction
The Transportation Sales Tax extension, approved on August 8, 2000, included the construction of Botts Road from 135th St. to 139th St. as a Second Priority Project. The Botts Road Phase II Project involves the improvement from the street’s current rural minimal width to a three lane curb and gutter street capable of handling the area’s industrial traffic. The City will utilize $1,000,000 of federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to supplement the City’s funds from the Transportation and Capital Improvements Sales Tax Funds for the construction of the project. The federal funds to construct the project will not be available until after October 1, 2010. Acquisition of the 33 parcels of temporary construction easement or right of way for construction of the project is currently underway. The project is being designed by Affinis Corp.
Second to Third Street Connector
The Transportation Sales Tax extension, approved on August 8, 2000, included the construction of the Second & Third Street connector. The purpose of the project is to provide a continuous truck route linking Blue Ridge Boulevard with Main Street. The 3,500-foot long project involves the reconstruction of 2,300 feet of 2nd St between Main St and Duck Rd. and a new 1,200-foot segment from the 2nd St/ Duck Rd. intersection to 3rd St south of Blue Ridge Blvd. The project is known as the 2nd/3rd Street Connector. The project is being designed by Phelps Engineering. The project will be constructed in two phases.
The first phase is 2nd St between Main St and Duck Rd. Construction of the roadway started in June, 2010 and involves closure of the street to through traffic. Access to all of the properties will be maintained, but may be restricted from either the north or the south. (click here to determine how best to access an address) Funding of this $800,000 first phase will come from a $380,000 federal grant for ARRA and the balance from the Transportation Sales Tax Fund.
The second phase is the portion between Duck Rd. and Blue Ridge Blvd. Construction started in August and will continue through the winter. A major portion of this phase is west of existing 3rd St and will have much less impact upon traffic in the area. The second phase is also estimated to cost $1,000,000 all of which will be provided by the Transportation Sales Tax Fund.
Both phases will be complete in the spring of 2011.
135th Street Project
The City has recently entered into a contract with Affinis Corp. for the design of the segment of 135th St between 5th St and Botts Rd. This will involve the improvement of 135th St from its current rural ditch section to a curb and street capable of handling the truck traffic traveling from 5th St to Botts Rd. Construction on this street is expected to start early 2011. A public hearing to present the preliminary design, received the public’s input, and address property owner’s concerns is tentatively scheduled for September 21, 2010.
MAIN STREET PHASE 1 PROJECT
Phase 1 involves the improvements to Main St from west of 7th Street to 10th Street. The City held a public hearing concerning the proposed design of the project on August 17, 2010. Construction is anticipated to start this winter. Design is being done by BHC Rhodes.
