Design

We need to install a stormwater system with the new sidewalk along Norris Street. The stormwater system adds a substantial amount to the scope and price of the project. In addition, we have several public utilities (water and sewer lines) that must also be avoided with the project's design. These items, along with staff turnover, have delayed this project. A new schedule is listed below.

June 2025

Construction crews are currently working on the sidewalk along Kenmore Drive, as well as the curb ramp leading to the park entrance and the curb ramp replacement at the intersection of Kenmore and Hazelwood Drive. Over the next week, they plan to focus on replacing storm drains on Oxford Road. Once the new catch basins and pipes are installed, they will proceed to install the remaining curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Oxford Road.

May 2025

Crews are currently installing curbs and gutters and removing pavement along Oxford Road. They are also working on coordinating and relocating private utilities on Inglewood Lane, Norris Street, and Vale Street.
