Project scope
Water main replacement
The existing water mains on Greenview Drive and South Seventh Street are undersized and have reported water quality issues. This project will install a new 8-inch water main on Greenview Drive and new 12-inch water main on South Seventh Street and replace/relocate fire hydrants to increase fire suppression coverage.
Stormwater improvements
A new stormwater conveyance system, including underground storage, will be installed on North Greenview Drive and South Seventh Street to improve drainage and help mitigate flooding on the road and downstream of the Allen Creek and Upper Mallets creek sheds.
All ages and abilities route
North Greenview Drive and South Seventh Street are All Ages and Abilities routes, as identified in the city's Vision Zero Transportation Plan. Both streets are being narrowed to match surrounding neighborhood streets and to increase bicycle comfort and visibility.
South Seventh Street
The east curb will be moved west to narrow the street An extra wide sidewalk will be installed in the east green space to match surrounding sidewalks. The west sidewalk in front of Lawton Elementary will also be widened. The bump out at Greenview Drive will be removed. The island at Scio Church Road will remain.
North Greenview Drive
Both curb lines will be moved toward the center of the road to narrow the road. Bump outs will be installed at all intersections. The Avondale intersection will be reconfigured to be a standard perpendicular intersection to help slow traffic.
Road resurfacing
The road will be resurfaced within the project limits. Some existing curb, sidewalk, and ramps will be replaced for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance.
Funding sources
Drinking Water Funds, Storm Utility Funds, and City Street, Bridge, and Sidewalk Millage will fund this project.
