Dear Residents,

We recognize that the Robinwood Reconstruction project has presented significant challenges over the past two years, especially given the various construction activities in this area. We want to assure you that city staff is actively working alongside contractors to deliver a high-quality result, despite these difficulties.

Here is an update on the current status of the Robinwood Reconstruction project, including completed work, upcoming plans, and ongoing challenges:

Completed Work:

• Curb and gutter installation, along with driveway approaches, on Robinwood, Liveoak, and Clover streets.
• Subgrade stabilization on Robinwood Phase 2 (from Liveoak to Kayewood).
• Pulverization of asphalt on Robinwood Phase 1 (from Emerson to Liveoak), Liveoak, and Clover.
• Inlet construction on Clover.
• Sidewalk installation on Robinwood/Emerson and Clover/Glenwood.

Upcoming Planned Work:

• Cement stabilization of Robinwood Phase 1 (scheduled for 5/15; ongoing).
• Cement stabilization of Liveoak and Kayewood (scheduled for 5/19).
• Cement stabilization of Clover (scheduled for 5/20–5/21; weather permitting).
• Cement stabilization of Shadywood (scheduled for 5/23; weather permitting).
• First lift of asphalt on the stabilized sections (planned for 5/28; contingent upon passing test results).

Challenges and Past Issues:

• The project has faced a particularly heavy rainy season, which resulted in delays due to saturated subgrade conditions and required material changes for subgrade treatment. These factors have impacted the project timeline and increased complexity

Current Issues

• Subgrade compaction on Shadywood: A meeting was held on 5/15, and a solution has been agreed upon to address this.
• Mistywood drainage issues: Eroded pipes have caused voids beneath the roadway, necessitating full drainage replacement to ensure safety and stability.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges. Our team remains committed to completing this project efficiently and to the highest standards, prioritizing safety and quality every step of the way.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Thanks,
