BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Project Background
The purpose of the Gillette Boulevard Street Reconstruction and Drainage Improvements project is to alleviate flooding issues with the current street's lack of curbs. The street reconstruction on Gillette Boulevard between Moursund Boulevard and Clamp Avenue will include driveways, sidewalks, and curbs. An underground drainage system will be required for the low section in between Clamp Avenue and Moursund Boulevard; this will tie into an existing drainage system on Moursund.
There is an additive alternative to improve drainage conditions from Clamp Avenue to Garnett Avenue. The additive alternative entails only the installation of a storm drain system; it does not include the installation of asphalt, curbs, and sidewalks. The benefit of doing this additive alternative now is that it will provide additional drainage improvements to neighboring properties. The Gillette Boulevard Street Reconstruction and Drainage Improvements project is anticipated to begin January 2018 and estimated to be completed by March 2019.
