LOG NAME: 20 TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF LOVING AVENUE
SUBJECT
Authorize Temporary Closure of Loving Avenue from Northwest 31 st Street to West Loraine Street from February 17, 2020 through July 17, 2020
for Construction Activities (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the temporary closure of Loving Avenue from Northwest 31st Street to West Loraine Street from
February 17, 2020 through July 17, 2020 for the construction of a culvert under Loving Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation & Public Works Department (TPW) requests the temporary closure of Loving Avenue between Northwest 31 st Street and West
Loraine Street from February 17, 2020 through July 17th, 2020 on behalf of the Contractor, Klutz Construction (CSC 52931) for complete roadway
and culvert reconstruction based on the Contractor's project schedule (City Project No. C00626). Presently, this section of Loving Avenue is a 28-
foot wide asphalt roadway with two 48-inch storm drain pipes and a 6-inch water main running underneath. The proposed scope of work is to
demolish all existing pavement in the construction zone, remove and replace the existing storm drain pipes with larger storm boxes, adjust
the existing water line, and reconstruct Loving Avenue with asphalt paving. Due to the scope of work and the impact of large equipment needed to
do this work and in the interests of project expediency and public safety, this closure is requested.
This closure request is anticipated to have minimal impact to roadway users as an alternate route has been identified via W. Loraine Street,
Chestnut Avenue, Northwest 30th Street, Angle Avenue, Northwest 31 st Street, Roosevelt Avenue, and Northwest 28th Street. Property directly
abutting Loving Avenue between Northwest 31 st Street and West Loraine Street will still have full access to their properties via the detour route.
This road closure is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 62A.
Traffic control plans for this project have been accepted.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies this action will have no material effect on City funds.
