one of only two entrances into the neighborhood, it is proposed to construct the road 34 feet <br /> wide (face to face) from Ridgewood Road to TH 51 in order to provide sufficient access for <br /> trucks and emergency vehicles. Edgewater Avenue is proposed to be constructed at its <br /> current width, 22 feet (face to face), to minimize impacts to the existing slopes on either <br /> side of the road. The concrete curb and gutter added along with this road section is <br /> proposed to be the same surmountable style as constructed in 2008. <br /> All roadways will be constructed with a seven ton structural design. Existing street grades <br /> will be altered where appropriate to improve drainage. Necessary corrections to the <br /> roadway subgrade will be made in areas exhibiting more severe signs of distress or where <br /> unsuitable material is encountered prior to placing the aggregate based and bituminous <br /> pavement. <br /> Any sod that is damaged as a result of the project will be replaced. In order to match the <br /> new street, driveway approaches will be removed between the existing pavement and the <br /> grading limits, roughly the Right of Way line. The driveways will be replaced in-kind with <br /> concrete or bituminous. <br /> Alternative 2 - Reclamation <br /> The existing bituminous surface represents an investment in the road system that has value. <br /> The bituminous surface would be reclaimed, a process that involves pulverizing the <br /> bituminous pavement and blending it with the road base below. This approach was used on <br /> Amble Road in the 2011 Pavement Management Program project. The reclaimed material <br /> would then be shaped and compacted to provide a stable base to construct the bituminous <br /> road surface on. Areas found to have unstable subgrade will be excavated and filled with <br /> excess reclaimed material. <br /> Roadway width would be restored to essentially the same width currently in place. <br /> Driveways would be cut and blended into the new road surface as needed. The sod along <br /> the edge of the road would be restored by placing topsoil and sod. <br /> Drainage and landscaping will require some bituminous curb be added in select areas to <br /> facilitate collection of stormwater and prevent erosion. It is possible to make some minor <br /> adjustments to road grades to improve drainage but with a reclaimed road base, lowering <br /> the road surface significantly, is not possible. <br /> 6 <br />
