Work in Five Points
Some updates from the local government ...
The Five Points business area will undergo a series of infrastructure improvements projects during the spring and summer of 2008 and 2009. The improvements will involve a water main upgrade and stormwater improvements.
Water main improvements will take place on South Lumpkin Street from Milledge Avenue to Carlton Terrace during April 2008 through July 2008. Stormwater improvements are currently underway in the Cherokee Avenue/Catawba Avenue/Milledge Circle area through July 2008, but will not take place on South Lumpkin Street until April 2009 through July 2009.
The decision to divide the projects into two components over two years came about after Unified Government staff met with representatives of the Five Points Business Association in July 2007 to obtain input about the process and schedule.
As a result, the schedule was adjusted to the following to address time frame, work days, work hours, and other concerns:
• Stormwater Improvements from the Outfall to the Milledge Circle/South Lumpkin Street/Milledge Avenue Intersection (October 2007-July 2008; Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.)
• Water Main Improvements along South Lumpkin Street from Milledge Avenue to Carlton Terrace (April-July 2008; Monday-Thursday, 2:00-11:00 p.m.)
• Stormwater Improvements along South Lumpkin Street from Milledge Avenue to Carlton Terrace (April-July 2009; Sunday/Monday-Thursday, 2:00-11:00 p.m.)
The revised schedule raises the probability that construction will be completed on time, even with possible weather delays. Additionally, projects will not be active after the beginning of the University’s fall semester in either 2008 or 2009. The new schedule also minimizes possible conflict between water main and stormwater improvements as well as potential conflicts with other underground utilities. The ACC Public Utilities Department will perform the water main improvements, while a
private company contracted by the ACC Transportation & Public Works Department is undertaking stormwater improvements.
Area residents and businesses will be provided with biweekly updates through regular Street Scenes newsletters, e-mail updates, athensclarkecounty.com, and ACTV Cable Channel 7 during :10-:20 of each hour.
A public drop-in meeting will also take place on Wednesday, March 19 at Fire Station #3 (1744 South Lumpkin Street) from 4:00-7:00 p.m. with maps, information, and staff on hand.
