Auburn City Council takes next steps on sidewalk, North Hunter Brook Bridge projects | Local News

The next steps for two Auburn construction projects were approved at the Aug. 17 Auburn City Council meeting.

City council members unanimously voted to award the construction contract for this year's Community Development Block Grant Sidewalk Replacement project to Concrete Slipform. The city will pay the Canastota construction company $147,420 to complete the project. All funds will come from the $172,000 grant the city received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. 

Engineering Services Superintendent Bill Lupien said Tuesday that the following areas will see sidewalk construction beginning in mid-September:

• Perrine Street from North Division Street to Pulaski Street, north side

• State Street from York Street to Pulaski Street, east side

• State Street from Pulaski Street to Perrine Street, east side

• Perrine Street from railroad tracks to North Street, both sides

Sidewalk replacement will take place in low-to-moderate income area neighborhoods and will benefit an estimated 800 residents, according to the city's 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan. 

Lupien said this project is "time sensitive" as the city is required to spend a certain amount of the money from the CDBG program within the year. 

The council also voted unanimously to award the construction contract for the North Hunter Brook Bridge Replacements Project to Schuyler County-based construction company Silverline Construction for nearly $1.29 million. 

Work at North Hunter Brook will see the badly eroded culverts at Schwartz Drive, within the Standart Woods apartment complex, and McIntosh Drive replaced, starting with the McIntosh culvert, Lupien said. 

Originally expected to begin this summer, construction could start anywhere from six weeks to six months, Lupien said, depending on material availability. A more definite construction schedule will be available in October and according to Lupien, the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.

The city is responsible for 5 percent of the project's cost; the rest is eligible for 95-percent reimbursement from both federal and state resources.

The ghost estates that still haunt Ireland

Image
A decade after the crash, Shannon Valley housing estate , on the outskirts of Ballaghaderreen, in Co Roscommon, remains unfinished and partly in ruins. Although the number of “ unfinished housing developments ” has fallen sharply since 2010, Shannon Valley is one of hundreds that still dot the country. The Guls: ‘Every day I put rats in the bin’ Fatima Gul says her little brother, Yousaf, doesn’t like the rats. He jumps up on the sofa or the table in the living room when they come into the house. Their parents don’t allow Fatimar, who is 10, or her nine-year-old sister, Maryam, or Yousaf and his twin, Zohra, who are five, to play near the houses on the other side of their green. It’s too close to the rats and the rubble. Shannon Valley “ ghost estate ” outside Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.
