UPDATE FROM FREMONT TOWNSHIP HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
Alicia Dodd, Fremont Township Highway Commissioner, presented an update on various projects affecting WSPC.
New 10″ drainage pipe will be installed along Fairview Drive in Block 2.
Permeable parking areas to be installed along localized areas of Fairview Drive. Permeable parking pads will allow water to drain into/through them into the new drainage pipe and will keep water off the roads.
Opportunity for homeowners along Fairview Drive (and other areas including Block 2) to share in the cost of having new driveway aprons and parking pads installed. Cost sharing with Fremont Township will reduce the paving cost for the homeowner. Specific instruction on preparing the parking areas and the timeframe for the shared parking/paving project will become available to homeowners later in the spring for the homeowners who want to participate.
Remove dying tree and slightly widen intersection at Fairview and Prospect Drive.
Repair/or replacement of damaged retaining wall along Fairview Drive.
Replace stop signs and street signs into combined signage for clarity and to remove excessive signage.
Review and evaluation of the use of blinking stop signs or radar signs for intersections where cars fail to stop and areas where speeding is a concern.
2nd phase of WSPC water-main replacement project to be completed in the spring/summer of 2022 before Fremont Township will complete temporary patching and then follow later in late August or September to complete road paving.
Evaluation of Hillside to review options including: widening, repaving, or removal of the street. All possibilities being reviewed and are under consideration.
Block 1 Circle and Oakdale roads planned to be repaved, with parking pad and apron installations considered, when future planned drainage work along those roads is completed.
Route 60/83 Reconstruction Plan is currently in the final engineering phase.
