Greenway paving update 9-10-2013

[Patrick]

I received a message this week from Amy Hartzog from the City that parts of the Maumee path between Pemberton Dr. and the trailhead on N. River Rd. will be getting some fresh paving.  Here is a quote, "The Street Dept. will start doing some prep work on the trail over the next week or two and then they will start resurfacing it.  Hopefully, this means it should be resurfaced before the end of the month.  We should have about 2 miles of trail resurfaced!"

For those of you that ride through downtown, here is a press release from Public Works about street closings for sewer work:

"Beginning Monday, September 16, the two west lanes on Ewing Street will be closed from Washington Boulevard to Main Street. These lane restrictions will run through the intersection of Berry Street, closing Berry between Ewing and Fairfield Avenue. The east curbed lane on Ewing will remain open. These restrictions are expected to last about two weeks. Pearl Street will also be closed to through traffic between Ewing and Fairfield for about two weeks. 

Throughout the eight month construction period, several lane restrictions and closings will occur in the downtown area."

This from the Parks Department:

"Beginning Monday, September 16th the Maumee Pathway,
between Pemberton Drive and the North River Road Trailhead, will be
closed 6:30 am – 2: 30 pm, Monday – Friday. Several sections of this
4-mile trail are being resurfaced. The gates on each end of the work area will
be closed in the morning while resurfacing is taking place and will be
reopened in the afternoon. There is no detour for this section of trail, so
please plan to avoid this area while the gates are closed.

Due to recent prep work for the resurfacing, the Maumee Pathway is rough in some
locations.  Please use caution when utilizing the trail during the weekend of September
14-15. Weather permitting, resurfacing work on this area is expected to be complete Friday,
September 20."

I received an update from the Parks Dept. about the Maumee path re-paving.  They now expect to complete the work by Tuesday the 24th.
