Brittany Hills Subdivision Project

Project Overview

The Brittany Hills Subdivision Project includes roadway rehabilitation, resurfacing, curb and sidewalk repairs, drainage upgrades, storm sewer lining, and pedestrian/ADA upgrades. Key components include:

Roadway Rehabilitation:
- Full-depth reclamation (FDR) will reconstruct the failing roadway base by recycling existing materials and mixing in cement for added strength.
- Asphalt pavement resurfacing on the courts and cul-de-sacs for a new smooth riding surface.
Added Path Crossing with Flashing Signage at Sleepy Hollow Road and Highmeadow Lane:
- Studies show a need for a marked pedestrian crossing at this location for access to local and regional paths.
- High visibility crosswalk markings and flashing signage with push buttons will be installed for added safety and visibility.
Storm Sewer Replacement and Lining:
- Pre-construction assessments include televising the existing storm sewer throughout the subdivision.
- Identified damages storm sewer will be replaced or lined to extend the life of the existing storm sewer system.
Sidewalk and Curb Replacement::
- Damaged and non-compliant sidewalk and curb sections will be removed and replaced to improve pedestrian accessibility and safety.
- Spot repairs will address deteriorated areas throughout the project limits.

FAQ

Q1: Why is this project necessary?

The existing roadway and infrastructure are deteriorating, requiring rehabilitation to improve safety, durability, and connectivity for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Q2: What roadway improvements are included?

Full-depth reclamation (FDR) will be used to strengthen the roadway base by incorporating recycled materials, followed by the application of two layers of asphalt to create a smooth and long-lasting surface.

Q3: What sidewalk and curb improvements are included?

Damaged and non-compliant sidewalks and curbs will be removed and replaced, with spot curb repairs completed throughout the project area.

Q4: What pedestrian safety upgrades are being made?
Improvements include a new pedestrian crossing at Sleepy Hollow Road and Highmeadow Lane including a push-button activated flashing beacon, signage, and high visibility crosswalk markings. Additionally, all sidewalk ramps will be upgraded to meet current ADA standards.
