Phase 1 of the 2021 Paving Project is just about done! ASI will continue culvert cleaning, site restoration, and any remaining punch list items for Group 1 streets (Avilla, Glenwood, Santa Barbara, Bungalow, Cambridge, Sunset and Sunnybrook).

Regular trash pick-up will NOT be available on Monday for those on San Jose and Wiltshire. The city has established centralized pick-up areas for trash collection. These are identified with signage (compost, garbage, and recycling). These areas were selected based on their proximity to the affected residents and relative flatness of the intersection. Efforts were made to minimize the need for residents to cross the street. As with regular trash pick-up, you may place your trash out the evening before. Residents are encouraged to mark their cans in a unique way (like your luggage!).

Preliminary work began this week on Group 2 streets (San Jose Blvd, Santa Barbara, Wiltshire, Alhambra). This included setting up traffic control, and pavement removal on San Jose and Wiltshire. Removal work is expected to begin on Alhambra early next week, weather permitting.

There remain many questions related to the Water Service Line Verifications! To meet the state standards, water service lines must be verified at 3 distinct points – inside the house, public side of the curb stop, and the private side of the curb stop. The current area of focus is south of I-696. Residents on Lincoln, Margate, Meadowbrook Way, Meadowood, Middlesex, and Rainbow who received a letter in early May should expect work to occur in the next 2 weeks. Reminder letters will also be mailed early next week.

Many residents have verified inside the house by using the QR code and instructions. If you haven’t already completed this step, see below for instructions. To verify the 2^nd and 3^rd points, the city’s contractor Sunde Building will dig out an area approximately 5’ x 3’ x 6’ to view both sides of the curb stop. Typically, this in the front yard near the sidewalk and is marked with a metal disc. Within 2 weeks of the work being complete, the city’s contractor will restore the disturbed area. We only ask that you water the new grass seed.
