Summary:
Summary
The City will be constructing roadway and drainage system improvements along East Overbrook Street from south of Duncan Drive to North Overbrook Avenue, Duncan Drive from East Overbrook Street to West Overbrook Street, and North Overbrook Avenue from East Overbrook Street to 20th Street NW. The County is required to relocate or replace all utilities in conflict with the City’s proposed Project area. Utilizing the City’s construction contractor will limit the disruption to area residents resulting in Project efficiencies for all stakeholders. The existing water main, owned by the County, will be impacted by the proposed City roadway, drainage, and sidewalk improvements, and will be replaced or realigned to accommodate the proposed project improvements. Additionally, the County will install new fire hydrants for Public Safety and water blow-offs to improve the water quality. Estimated cost to County for Project utility work is $1,500,000.00.
