Re: Southwestern Blvd.
Keith:
That is what I thought. I thought someone woudl contac tus, or start cutting
the grass, when the sod was in place. As it turned out, people here
receiveed a letter from the City telling us to cut oru grass. So everyone
was in a panic over the weekend. In truth, as I pointed out to Clay, I
believe no one really knew what to expect in terms of grass maintenance,
given that the project was ongoing -- so the notification was something of a
shock, and somewhat ambiguous because ti did not waht area the resident was
responsbile for.
As for outstanding issue, it really is hard to see the little things unless
you are out there cutting the grass. the items are small -- fill needed here
and there, lots of small construction debris that you really woudl nto spot
unless you were mowing. Surface rocks, which are typical when the earth has
been regraded. Its just going to ttkae some time to get the area back into
"lawn" quality. Yes, I saw some patches where the first seeding did not
take. I think the western portion (from the bridge) got the better seeding.
I might walk the area and not spot anything wrong, but when I am pushing a
mower, you jsut see spots where a hazard exists. All the utility access
poitns need to be checked to see that earth is filled around then. that
catches a mower tire, and a blade can break, or worse -- a shaft can break.
I knwo you guys are doing everything possible to get the roqad right. My
concern centers on the timing and content fo the letter that was sent out. I
will discuss this in greater detail with Clay at our appointment.
Thank you for your response. Good luck in your continued service to our
community. It is not said enough, but city staff is truly appreciated for
your efforts.

Re: grass mowing
Please see below. I was under the impression we were taking care of any remaining ruts and other
damage that might have been cause by the road construction. Please let me know what the status of any
notices along this stretch of roadway.
Thanks!

Kent,
As I expected, we have not fully accepted the project along Southwestern. That is indeed why you continue to see
contractor personnel on site watering and performing whatever maintenance is being done. You might also receive a call
from Keith Marvin in Engineering today as I have asked him to provide you with the latest information. I will be visiting
with Keith and Ken today also.
