Old Lynchburg Road Safety, Sidewalks and Drainage Update

From City engineer Tony Edwards:

Those drainage structures identified as being too high within the road cross section have been investigated further and a solution has been requested of the contractor to make repairs.
The silt fence along the back side of BMP, will be removed once the grass is established.
The contractor will need to secure the reflective tape on bollards near flashing light pedestrian crosswalk.
The city has requested a one year bond for the potential removal and replacement of the existing white oak tree next to the trail entrance, in the case the tree health declines.
The drainage structure near 301 Middleton Lane, will be adjusted so the top doesn’t rock and become nosy when vehicles drive over it. Additional seeding will also be provided at the end of the retaining wall (OLR side)
The stone path was cleaned up and adjusted to the new easement at the Old Laurel Lane right of way, however it was requested that Finley provide an estimate for paving 2” of surface mix over the compacted stone base material. Additional drainage improvement options will be assessed when the Parks Department looks to install more landscaping in this area.
Due to vehicle operators driving off the edge of the driveway at 229 OLR, a 6” x 6” timber curb was requested. The contractor has restored the slope and a wooden curb was requested. No cracks in the driveway were found and the driveways are in good condition. The sink hole that was found during the driveway repaving was repaired and the existing 48” concrete storm pipe found to be in whole condition. The concrete patch provides a stable and compacted condition for the driveway.
The handicap sign request for 112 OLR is in process with the traffic division and will be handled directly with the owners.
Rock and debris have been removed from the top soil layer of the  disturbed areas and will be checked again before final acceptance.
A request for additional top soil behind the silt fence at 211 will be reviewed and placed as needed.
Speed limit signs are currently installed on both ends of OLR , but additional locations for installation are being reviewed. This will also include moving  the “No Trucks”… sign closer to JPA.
All close –out documents will be submitted within 10 days after the Substantial Completion date has been established.
