The Town Manager displayed mans which had been fastened TOWN MANAGER DISPLAYED to the wall showing p reliminary plans for improvements on Route 11 MAPS SHOWING. IMPROVEMENT s.n the vicinity of its intersection with ?'enpers Ferry Road and Pico OF HIGHWAYS Terrace Drive which two side streets comp together i.n a common intersection with Route 11 as well as a proposed project to completely rebuild Route 99 or Randolph Avenue bet~sreen Eleventh Street and the corporate limits, a distance of .55 miles. T~~ith reference to the Route 1?_ project near Pulaski High School, it was explained that because of the particular problems REF. TO ROUTE ~.. .`•3i AND in the area the State Highway Department had suggested the lowering LOWERING OF GRADE TO of the grade of Route 11 a distance of ap;~roximatel,y Z!00 feet, a CONNECT PICO DRIVE AND maximum of four feet certicall,y and at the same time the intersection PEPPERS FERRY ROAD of Route 11 and the two streets be moved eastward about 300 .feet, this being the only feasible wa,y to intersect Pico Drive with Peppers Ferry Road a safe distance from Route 11 so that traffic from Pico Drive would first enter Peppers Ferry Road before enterir~ Route 11, with the Peepers Ferry Road-Pico Drive intersection to be approximately 100 feet south of Route 11 in the proposed project. It was pointed .out that with respect to both the proposed WAS POINTED projects the Town would be responsible for fifteen percent of the CUT THAT Tf~7N WOULD total right-of-way and construction cost with the State to pay thirty- HAVE TO HELP PAY ON ROAD five percent and the Federal Government fifty percent. However, it BUILDING OR IMPROVEME",NT ~~~ Council mins. contd. 10/19/65 was noted on all projects of this type the necessary changes to water or sewer 1_ines would be the sole responsibility of the Town. The Town Manager then displayed a sketch which had been prepared by the Department of Public Z^'orks showing the location of . what has been known as the T^Tarden Springs raw water line and it A SKETCH WAS DISPLAYED TO was explained that this line is not now in use and would not be SHOW WARREN ` SPRINGS LINE used again as a raw water line si nce Warden Springs had been AND ITS CONNECTION ~-abandoned as a raw water supply. The so-called Z^Tarden Spring line can be WIC RT. 11, MONROE, AND laced in service by sterilization and tieing in to the present PEPPERS FERRYp ROAD PORJ. distribution system at the Filter Plant and certain other locations, one of which would be at the intersection of Route. 11 and Monroe. Avenue. The construction of the Route 11 project would make necessary the use of the now unused Warden Springs line because the Peppers Ferry Road relocation would nessitate removal of the existing 12" line for approximately 600 feet with later replacement toward the end of the construction project. It had been estimated that the cost of placing this line in service and making the necessary cross connect- ions with the existing 12" line, would cost approximately $1?,000.00 but with the exception of that portion of the line which would have to be removed and then replaced during the construction project, the placing of the existing 12"T^rarden Springs line into use as a treated water distribution line will be necessary i_n the future, with the effect that the construction of the Route 11-Peppers Ferry Road project would accelerate the placing of this line in service. With respect to the Randolph Avenue project, it was ex- plai ned that the Highway Department suggests widening the present HIGHWAY DEPT. SUGGESTED eighteen foot pavement to forty feet between curbs which widening would WINNING OF CURBS ON involve securing of various amounts of right-of-way on both sides of RANDOLPH AVE.
