Resident and Abutters:
Your road has been selected for roadway improvements consisting of roadway reclamation and
repaving of the roadway, installation of granite curbing, and new concrete sidewalks, driveway
aprons, and accessible ramps.
Construction activities, such as lowering of castings, drainage improvements and mobilization,
are scheduled to begin Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Work will be performed by our contractor,
Onyx Corporation. Reclamation of the road is scheduled to start, WEATHER PERMITTING,

Reclamation is a process by which the existing road surface is ripped up and pulverized, leaving
several inches of ground up material that is then graded and compacted to form a new roadway
base. A binder (first) course asphalt pavement is then placed on top of the new roadway base.
Where necessary, `No Parking' signs will be posted along the area selected for road work.

construction and its effects. Typical hours of construction work are from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
