Downtown Improvements Project Phase 1 - Basement Inspection Notice

Project Background Phase 1 of the Downtown Improvements Project will include full reconstruction of streets and sidewalks in the project area: 2nd Ave. from Willis to Warford; Warford Street from 1st Ave. up to 3rd Ave.; and north/south alley between Warford and Lucinda. Public utilities within the project areas are expected to be replaced. The public parking lot at the corner of 1st and Warford will also be reconstructed.

Basement Inspections As part of this project, the project team will need to complete a basement inspection to evaluate several items. These include:

• Finding the location of the water main, sanitary sewer service, and any other utilities to understand where to connect to these services during construction.
• Determining the type of material for the water service.
• Evaluating if the basement of a building extends under the sidewalk. This is common in:     
                    older buildings and finding the basements that do extend allows the design team to create a project design that accounts for these basements.

Each property owner will need to select a date and time for the project team to complete the basement inspection. To schedule your inspection, visit the website: Basement Inspection Sign-up or scan the QR code to sign up.
