    Ready...Set...ENGAGE!

    Thank you for your interest in Cottage Grove East Subproject 2. Please see the responses to your questions below. Thank you for your time and patience.

    Question 1: Will there be an effort to bury the overhead utilities/electricity lines while the roads are under construction?

    Response 1: The overhead electrical will remain on the power pole during construction; the relocated power poles will include moving the overhead electrical lines to the relocated pole, leaving the communication lines on the Stub pole. 

    Question 2: Can we expect the crews to utilize existing walk-ways (often mismatched and unlevel) or demolish existing and create new ones?

    Response 2: There are six construction phases to the project. Half of the street will be closed to perform demolition, then construct proposed utilities and paving on the same side, then the other half will be closed to perform demolition, then construct proposed utilities and paving, this is the pattern for the whole project, consisting of six construction phases.

    Question 3: Can you share an overview of the current collaboration with utility/telecom providers?

    Response 3: Currently coordinating with CenterPoint Electrical, Gas, Street Lighting and Major Under Ground (MUG) Conduits, AT&T all aerial, Verizon Network cable along Oakley and Kyle and along Stanford, Verizon Wireless, Phonoscope, PS Lightwave, Zayo along Montrose and Oakley

    Question 4: Are teams working in unison to coordinate schedules and avoid future micro-trenching etc?

    Response 4: The plan is to have private utilities relocated prior to start of public utility and paving construction.

  • Share Please please please hurry on Cottage Grove East, subphase 2. But question on subphase 1, are there any plans to fix the situation of residents on Cornish St. trying to cross over Durham towards Shepherd? Vehicles are going super fast down Durham and then don’t leave space for vehicles to cross over when there is a red light. It’s like playing a very scary game of frogger but with cars. Maybe another stop light doesn’t make sense there but perhaps some road paint to indicate not to stop there, blocking traffic, when light is red? Also maybe some paint warning to slow for cross vehicle traffic? on Facebook Share Please please please hurry on Cottage Grove East, subphase 2.

    Thank you for your question. Speeding is a tremendous concern along all of Shepherd and Durham. The new proposed lane widths should help slowdown the traffic speed, as Shepherd- Durham Phase-2 project being proposing 4 lanes to 3 lanes. The intersection at Cornish is too close to the light at the frontage road to install a new signal.  DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION signage would help at the intersection. With the Shepherd Durham Phase 2 project, we are planning to propose the DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION signage and look into some additional striping to help drivers know where to stop to allow cross traffic to move.
