​Work to be done:​

• The existing water main leads will be relocated to the larger water main to increase capacity.

• The existing pavement will be replaced from S. Maple to S. Seventh.

• Some existing curb, sidewalk and ramps will be replaced for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.

• Some storm water improvements will be done throughout the project, as well as within the median between Scio Church Road and the service drive between Greenview Drive and S Seventh Street similar to the median east of S Seventh Street.

• Some safety improvement features will be installed including new bike lanes, filling sidewalk gaps, and installing new crosswalks. Three new crosswalks will be installed in between Covington and Old Pear Tree Ct, near Churchill Drive, and near Mershon Drive. In addition, a connection sidewalk between Yeoman Court and Scio Church will be installed.
  

• Plans submitted to ​​M​DOT (PDF) 
  

Possible impact to residents:

• Scio Church Road will be open for eastbound traffic while a detour will be in place for westbound traffic for the duration of construction.  Driveway access for local traffic will be maintained, but may include delay during working hours.  Cross street traffic will be maintained as much as possible. Some possible short-term road closures to complete water main service transfers.​​
  

• Water service will be interrupted for short durations during water main relocation for a few residents. Disruptions will be limited, and residents will be informed in advance. 

• General noise and dust from equipment, particularly during site excavation.​
  

Costs and funding source

City Street, Bridge, and Sidewalk Millage, Federal Funding, Storm Utility Funds, and Drinking Water Funds will fund the majority of the work on this project.  New sidewalks adjacent to taxable properties will be funded by the New Sidewalk Millage which was approved in the November 2020 election.​
