CAP2007 Gardenia Avenue Improvements

East of Main Street to Campbell Road

Contractor: AJAX Paving Industries, Inc.

The city will be resurfacing Gardenia Avenue from just east of Main Street (east of Frentz & Sons Hardware) to Campbell Road. Construction is scheduled to be completed by mid-October 2018. The city has closed Gardenia Avenue to thru-traffic and is prohibiting side street traffic from entering Gardenia between Main Street and Campbell Road as shown on the map below.

The contractor has finished the concrete section of roadway just east of Frentz & Sons Hardware, and residents up to 218 Gardenia can access their driveways via Main Street. The remaining houses fronting on Gardenia should still plan to access their driveways via Oakmount Street.

The contractor has finished pavement removals and underground piping installation at the intersection of Alexander. The contractor will begin installing the stone base, grading and forming for this intersection, and tentatively plans to pour concrete during the week of August 20th. This intersection will be repaved in concrete as a “raised intersection” with ramps at each entryway to help with traffic calming.

The contractor will continue miscellaneous curb removals and replacement, and also handicap ramp work between Alexander and Campbell during the week of August 20th. They also plan to begin removing pavement for road reconstruction just west of Campbell Road.
