The City of Bainbridge Island Public Works Department is preparing for the replacement of utilities under Winslow Way from SR 305 to Grow Avenue. The sewer, water and storm drainage systems are in extreme disrepair. Since fixing these utilities will require extensive digging and trenching, some safety improvements and a limited set of public amenities will be incorporated when the street and sidewalks are reconstructed as part of the project.
City Council authorized completion of final design documents in preparation for reconstruction to begin in early 2010. With this final phase now under way, the project is on schedule and under budget, with the 30% engineering design complete and a second value engineering study recently concluded on April 16th. All anticipated expenditures and reimbursements for 2009 and 2010 have been identified in a project tracking spreadsheet with will be rigorously monitored and updated through project completion.
Construction will be underway in a year from now. While we expect some partial and temporary closures during construction, every feasible means available will be employed to keep businesses open and thriving during construction. To keep abreast of the project through final design and construction, plan to attend the Fourth Tuesday Downtown Business Meetings held each month at City Hall at 8:00 am. The next meeting will be May 26th.
