Staff warns pipeline repairs will require full road closure
Summary
City staff told the council that planned pipe work crosses the highway diagonally and that the contractor indicated the project will require a full closure rather than a partial lane closure.
City staff advised council members that pipeline/utility work near a local highway will not allow a partial closure because the pipes run catty-corner across the road. The Clerk said, "So it will be a full closure is what the last thing Mark had said," indicating the contractor's assessment that traffic will need to be stopped for the work.
Council members and staff discussed the operational impacts; staff said they were not trained in logistics for the closure but relayed Mark's expectation of a full closure. Staff indicated they would follow up with more detailed scheduling and traffic-control plans as those particulars are finalized.
