City Accepts Bid for Repairs – FINALLY!!
Nov/090
Hello Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I announce that city council has accepted a bid for our long-awaited street repairs! According to reports in the Kentucky Enquirer, Sunesis Construction Co. will accept 1.28 million dollars for replacement of our sanitary and storm sewer line. (Read the full story here.) City Administrator Keith Spoelker expects the repairs project to begin in spring or summer of 2010, and according to the project’s specifications, the street can only be closed in 300-ft. sections at a time. Additionally, the bid specifies that the intersection of Taylor and Covert Run cannot be shut down for more than four weeks.
The news report also indicates that Council plans to hold a public announcement sometime in December, so be sure to come prepared with any questions you have concerning the repairs project.
This is a very exciting time for Covert Run Pike residents. With any luck, the repairs will go smoothly next year and the problems that have plagued our street for more than 60 years will finally come to an end!
Until then, let’s remain focused!
