Regular Council Meeting Minutes 7-20-09 Page 4 ENGINEERING - Tom Cannello Mr. Cappello provided an update on the roadwork in the local areas. Mayfield Road, which is affecting the Wilson Mills traffic due to the ramp closures - the entrance ramps will be open to traffic either Tuesday or Wednesday evening. This will help traffic on Wilson Mills Road. The exit ramps should be open to traffic on or about the end of next week, Friday, July 31". The concrete pavement and substantial project completion is scheduled to be done by the end of August. September will be the month in which there will be final landscaping. River Road Bridge is tentatively scheduled to open to traffic on August 19`h. The construction will continue. Traffic will be open. This project is an incentive project, so if the contractor opens before August 19th, he gets a bonus. If he opens it after August 19`h, he gets a penalty or has to pay a penalty. Again, that project is scheduled to be completed October 15`n The Mayf'ield Road bridge project by Chagrin River is scheduled to be completed October 15tn also. Ridgebury Boulevard - Mayfield Heights gave the County permission to extend the project, so the limits which were originally from Richmond Road to Lander have been extended from Lander to SOMe As you probably know right now, the work is being done on the north side. The south side is one-lane traffic eastbound only. At the end of August, they are going to switch traffic and fihey will be doing work then on the south side with traffic still eastbound one lane. On October 12th, they plan to open it up to two-way traffic. The surface will be installed during that time. Between the 12t' and 30g' of that month, they will finish topping the road and putting the new surface on it. Seneca Road is scheduled to begin at the end of July, eazly August. That should take approximately 30 days to complete. The contract says 45.

After that meeting, Mr. Cappello will either write a letter or e-mail update people on the status of that.

Once the shop drawings are approved, they have to get it manufactured.
