Dear East Rochester Residents:
As a follow-up to our previous announcements the Garfield Street Sidewalk TAP project is progressing well. The contractor (Villager Construction) has been working hard to complete the sidewalks from Ivy Street to West Avenue. The next phase is completing the sidewalks from West Avenue to West Commercial Street. This may impact sidewalk travel along West Commercial Street. Signs will be posted. School pedestrian and vehicle traffic should avoid the 300 & 400 Blocks of Garfield Street when possible.
Regarding yard restoration. The contractor will be working to restore disturbed areas over the next two months. Top soil, grass seed, and driveway aprons. Most residents will be receiving a new driveway apron as part of the sidewalk project. A majority of the top soil has been installed. Grass seed has also been installed and we will continue to be monitored. With the warm temperatures residents are encouraged to help water the grass areas. The contractor will also be reseeding areas that were previously installed or have settled. Driveway aprons will be restored during mid-day hours to limit imparts to school traffic and residents. The new aprons and backside of the sidewalk driveway restoration areas should not significantly impact driveway access. If you need special provisions, please contact the number listed below to address any concerns.
Throughout the Town/Village a number of water service connections in the road are being replaced by MCWA. This has caused additional interruptions and road construction. They are working to complete projects on Garfield Street and throughout the Town/ Village.
Depending upon available Town/Village funds, repaving portions of Garfield Street are also planned for this year and next. Additional notifications will be provided.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we continue to make these community improvements.
For questions or concerns please contact Tom Fitzgerald at MRB Group (585-381-9250).
Sincerely,
