DPW plans summer projects
NORWICH – Summer weather has arrived in Norwich, and the City Department of Public Works is planning the projects they will attempt to complete this year.
Street re-paving will begin shortly. Currently, the DPW is planning to re-pave Locust, Davis, Canal, Canasawacta and York Streets. Money for the street re-paving will be taken from the CHIPS program. Pothole repairs have started and should be completed by the end of June.
The reconstruction of Eaton Avenue is scheduled to begin any day now. “We are going to do our best to ensure that there is always access to NBT Bank. Businesses will not be interrupted any more than they have to be,” said Mayor Joseph Maiurano.
In addition to the street re-paving, the city will also be attempting to repair some of the parking lots. The city is currently working on a lease agreement with McLaughlin’s Department Store for the parking lot behind the store. Although the agreement has yet to be signed by the interested parties, a draft copy of the agreement proposes the city lease the lot for a period of 10 years. Instead of paying to make the lot open for public use, the city would be responsible for re-paving and maintaining it. The terms of the agreement are not concrete and may change before the parties sign the contract.
City workers are already in the midst of the sidewalk replacement program, with properties on Adelaide and Mitchell Streets already completed. “The sidewalk program is going well,” said Mayor Joseph Maiurano. In addition, he pointed out that the red brick strip on Broad Street had been completed, replacing the chipping bluestone that was there previously. “The red brick was installed painlessly. It was done quickly without hurting the downtown businesses,” Maiurano said. Unlike the bluestone, which began chipping and cracking shortly after it was installed, the red brick is guaranteed for three years.
The Canasawacta Creek Dam was removed last week. With one flood related project completed, the city still has several areas that need to be cleaned up due to last year’s flooding. The DPW is scheduled to begin work on the Ransford Creek, Canasawacta Creek and the Chenango River. Much of the work is scheduled to be done in August. “We need to get the river and the creek as dry as possible in order to do that (clean up the water ways),” Maiurano said. He explained that the DPW will be cleaning up tree limbs and major debris that may be in the water.
Other projects that will be completed this summer will be regular maintenance and repairs to the city parks and the mapping of all city sewer and storm water systems.
