Neighborhood meeting on July 19 at 6 p.m.
City staff to discuss project, solicit feedback
Community Services will host a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, July 19, at 6 p.m. to discuss the pending road reconstruction project for Fifth Street and Grove Street. The meeting will be held at Community Services' public works facility at 271 Mast Road.
The reconstruction will include upgrading underground utilities and addressing the conditions of the drainage, roadway and sidewalks. The city has contracted with Woodard & Curran of Andover, Massachusetts, to design the project. The final project design will incorporate the Complete Streets and Traffic Calming Guidelines adopted by the Dover Planning Board, including ensuring streets and sidewalks in the project area are safe and accessible for all users.
The neighborhood meeting will allow city staff to discuss project objectives with residents and the findings of the recently completed base survey. The meeting will also allow city staff and the consultant to solicit public feedback and gather ideas before work begins on creating detailed design plans.
Woodard & Curran began survey work last summer. Work has included geotechnical borings to investigate subsurface conditions within the project area, video inspection of the existing stormwater drain, sewer main and sewer services and creating a base survey. The goal is to have final design plans ready by year's end to allow the project to go for bid and for construction work to begin in 2023.
As the project develops, the City of Dover plans regular email updates to help residents and business plans for the construction disruption. Forwarded this email? Visit
