HomeMy WebLinkAboutReport of the Engineer 7/18/19770 REPORT OF ENGINEER 7/18/77 STREETS Repair of Triphammer Road by the placing of two wearing courses at the cost of the contractor is now completed. Keeping traffic from driving on the road too soon after it was paved was a major problem. Barricades at each access road to Tripham- mer Road were used as well as flagmen at each major access and a Police Officer for three full days at the intereection of Triphammer and Hanshaw Roads. The addition of the Police Officer for traffic control was a great help and appreciation is expressed to the Police Dept. for their cooperation. To smooth out the surface of Pleasant Grove Road, which was damaged by traffic driving on it too soon after its placement, application of the wearing surface like that on Triphammer Road was anticipated. Because the durability of such a sur- face is still In question until we have had a year's trial on Triphammer Road, the resurfacing of Pleasant Grove Read with such a wearing surface has been delayed and Pleasant Grove Road will be surface treated with the application of liquid asphalt and stone chips. It will seal the road as well as level out some of the irregular surface. DITCHING AND WATER CONTROL The Village continues to receive many requests for water control of the many streams that flow through the Village. Whether ditching within the road right of way and the improvement of culverts under the road will solve the problems needs to be discussed with the residents and accomplished by the Village work force as time permits. When the problem Is one that requires work on private property, the gen- eral policy is to refer the matter to the property owner for correction. VILLAGE HALL Painting work is again under way at the Village Hall. It had been delayed because of the painting contractor's illness. Report was made of a leak in the roof above the Jewelry store. It is a leak in the flashing of the connection between the two slate roofs and evidently not a leak in the slate. A detailed examination will be made; and If it is necessary, a roofing specialist will be brought in to repair the problem.
