Dayton Street Utility Improvements

Project Limits

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

Phase 1 of the Dayton Street Utility Improvements Project is wrapping up!

With paving and the majority of the striping on Dayton Street complete between 3rd Ave and 5th Ave, Phase 1 of the Dayton Street Utility Replacement Project is wrapping up! We’d like to thank the community around Dayton Street for their patience during this important project.

Since May 2019, crews have been working to replace the aging and undersized utilities along Dayton Street between 3rd Ave and 5th Ave. Replacing these utilities involved:

· Adding stormwater pipe capacity to reduce flooding downtown during heavy rainstorms
· Replacing and upsizing sewer and potable water pipes that are nearing the end of their lifespan
· Repaving and restoring Dayton Street after successful utility replacement.
Paving overlay on Dayton Street scheduled for Friday, October 11, weather permitting.

Phase 2 construction beginning Early Spring 2020

Phase 2 of the Dayton Street Utility Improvements Project (Dayton Street from 5th Ave S to 9th Ave S) is expected to begin in early March 2020 and last through fall 2020. This work will include:

· Adding stormwater pipe capacity to reduce flooding downtown during heavy rainstorms
· Replacing sewer and potable water pipes that are nearing the end of their lifespan
· Repaving the 5th Ave and Dayton Street intersection and concrete crosswalks
· Upgrading curb ramps to be ADA-accessible at the intersections of Dayton Street and 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Avenues
· Adding a sidewalk along the south side of Dayton Street from 7th Ave to 8th Ave, where there currently is no sidewalk.

In preparation for Phase 2, limited low-impact work will occur on Dayton between 7^th and 9^th as soon as late November 2019 to aid and prepare the site for the next phase of construction. We will follow up with more information as this work is scheduled.

Phase 1 (May-October 2019) and Phase 2 (2020)

Phase 1 of construction (Dayton Street from 3rd Ave S to 5th Ave S) will begin on May 13, 2019 and is anticipated to be completed in Fall 2019. Work during this phase will occur mostly between 3rd Ave S and 5th Ave S. Some sewer pipe rehabilitation work between 6th and 9th may be part of phase 1.

Traffic and pedestrian impacts

One lane of traffic, either eastbound or westbound, will be maintained on Dayton St during most of construction. Traffic control will be present ot direct people through the work area during construction.

Parking will be restricted in the work area

To provide safe working spaces for construction crews, there may be temporary intersection and/or block closures lasting for 1 to 3 days. We will notify businesses and neighbors ahead of these closures

Sidewalks and driveways will remain open except for short durations to maintain safety throughout the corridor

Phase 2 of construction (Dayton Street from 5th Ave S to 9th Ave S) will begin as early as Spring 2020 and last into Fall 2020
