Dates: June 11 – September 15, 2009
Budget: $1.5 million
Summary: Four sections of this lot have gone through numerous improvements:
Expansion joints have been added every 30 feet within the newly poured concrete to allow for expansion when the temperatures reach extremes
such as those we have experienced this summer.
Control joints are placed every 15 feet which "move" with the concrete and prevent cracks.
Lighting has been added throughout the lot and especially lot sections D and E, to assist with safety in the area.
As with all lots, drainage is very important and these lots have been carefully engineered by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.,
to allow for the optimum runoff, which is critical in maintaining the life expectancy of the lot.
Lime has been added to the soil prior to the concrete, which allows for better compaction of the soil and therefore provides a more solid base.
With 6" of subgrade and another 6" of concrete, these lots should expect at least 30 years of use before any improvements are needed.
Dumpster pads have been added throughout lot 36 and customers will now enjoy additional motorcycle parking adjacent to many light poles.
The drive lanes have been improved and parking spaces have been enlarged to 9'x18'.
Handicapped ramps have also been added. Lot 36 gained 31 spaces.
