Maple Street to see extensive overhaul this year
NORWICH – Residents along Maple Street can expect to see a significant amount of work done by NYSEG and the city DPW this summer as the city strides to improve deteriorating parts of its infrastructure.
Work to create a layout of Maple Street for land surveyors is already underway. The proposed project comes with an extensive amount of work which includes street re-paving, restoring curbs and sidewalks, and replacing deteriorating gas, sewer and water mains – repairs that will bring the total cost of the project to nearly $500,000. It’s a sweeping amount of work, but it’s all in desperate need of repair, according to Superintendent of Public Works Carl Ivarson.
Water and sewer mains underlying Maple Street date back to 1894; it’s the last time the city invested in a similar venture, according to Ivarson. “We always make a list of streets we would like to repair,” he said, explaining the seasonal responsibilities of the DPW. “This year, Maple is the one that needed the most attention.”
Without assistance from the New York State Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS), most funding for the project will come from the city’s water and wastewater budgets, which will share the $66,000 cost for engineering; however, because NYSEG is responsible for replacing gas lines, they will be paying 25 percent or the cost for asphalt, said Ivarson.
While the proposed work is quite an undertaking, Ivarson assures residents along Maple that no one will be without water or sewer at any time.
NYSEG has already marked the street, mapping out gas lines and preparing to begin their share of the project, which must be completed before the city DPW can begin its work. Ivarson said it is contracted that NYSEG complete their work by June 1, but he’s unsure when they will begin. The DPW will start replacing water and sewer lines over the summer prior to re-paving and sidewalk and curb restoration. Delaware Engineering LLC has presented a proposal to provide design, surveying, construction and inspection services in the process. All work will be completed by the end of October, said Ivarson.
In addition to the work done on Maple Street, the city DPW also plans to re-pave Mitchell, Hickok and South Hickok streets, and Francis Avenue, before next fall.
