BACKGROUND
The Street Oversizing Program is preparing to widen the last remaining section of Lemay Avenue
to four lanes in conjunction with proposed developments by the Everitt Companies and
Provincetowne Filing 2.
Staff has completed the engineering design and is ready to begin construction this summer.
Right-of-way was previously acquired through normal development dedications. No additional
right-of-way is needed, with the exception of a temporary construction easement.
The City's Pavement Maintenance Program is coordinating rehabilitation and overlay work on
Lemay Avenue with this project. $486,571 in existing appropriations from the Pavement
Maintenance Program will be included in the contract work.
A closure of Lemay Avenue will be necessary for the installation of water and sewer mains in the
center of the roadway. The sewer main requires an 18-foot deep excavation. With this large an
excavation there is not sufficient room to protect the traveling public and workers under traffic
conditions. There are acceptable detours using Timberline and Trilby Road in this southern area.
