Davis Road and Ohio Street paving is complete but 6955 feet of outer Essex Street was only shimmed with the surface to be applied in the spring. A group of residents is requesting that this section of Essex Street be widened to provide a 3-4 foot wide paved shoulder. To accommodate their request staff recommends milling and filling the edge of road and shoulder on the inbound lane before the surface is applied. The estimated additional cost for this work is $72,432. This action was approved unanimously by the Infrastructure Committee on December 23, 2014 with the condition that it be presented to the full council to provide opportunity for additional public comment.
