Background/Discussion
Oakland Drive is a narrow roadway with a steep grade and tight switchback curve which connects Military Avenue to Oak Park Road and Oakland Avenue. It is the only roadway that provides access for residents along Oak Park Road. Oakland Drive has no storm sewers and the pavement is in poor condition. The existing sanitary sewer is clay pipe from the 1950’s and needs to be replaced.
The project will include reconstruction of Oakland Drive from Military Avenue to Lafayette Avenue and Lafayette Avenue from Oakland Drive to Oakland Avenue. Reconstruction will include new pavement, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water main. The storm sewer from Military Avenue, north of Avenue G, to Curtis Street will be reconstructed to increase the capacity of the storm sewer. The storm sewer is the collector line for Oakland Drive and is currently under sized and surcharges during rain events.
The project was included in the FY20 CIP with funding from Local Option Sales Tax and Road Use Funds. The total project budget is $1,500,000.
