The city of Meadowlakes began a roadwork project Monday, June 16. Construction is starting with general repairs to deteriorated cut-and-patch areas and resurfacing the parking lot and installing curbs at the city’s Lakeside Park pavilion.
A concrete drainage swale will be installed from curb to curb and the intersection of Firestone Drive and Firestone Place resurfaced during a three-day period. Crews will work on one lane at a time during the day to allow for traffic flow. Street plates will be placed over the concrete section at night so both lanes can be open.
A flagman will direct traffic around barricades. The city’s boat ramp will be closed until park renovations are complete this week.
“(We are) sorry for the inconvenience, but this work has to be done and this is the most efficient way to do it,” said Michael Shaw in a notice to residents. Shaw is the vice president of Parks and Streets for the Meadowlakes Property Owners Association.
During the week of June 21, crews will begin resurfacing Firestone Drive from the cul-de-sac on the north end to past Dove Lane. Also up for resurfacing that week are Dog Leg from the cul-de-sac to in front of 101 Dog Leg and the small loop road on Columbine toward Meadowlakes Drive.
“The entire project will take a couple of weeks so your patience during this period is appreciated,” Shaw said. “Trash and recycle (pickup) will not be interrupted.”
