Dear Resident,

I hope this message finds you enjoying the final weeks of summer. I'm reaching out to inform you about an upcoming project on Garden Road, which is part of our annual Concrete Street Repair Program.

Initial sawcut work will begin tomorrow, Friday, September 8th, and concrete removal and replacement will continue next week. Our primary objective is to maintain Garden Road in excellent shape while offering residents a smoother and safer driving, biking, and walking experience.

City staff has identified certain areas along Garden Road where the concrete joints are displaying signs of wear and separation. To address these issues, our contractor will carefully sawcut along these existing joints and replace with new full-depth concrete sections, ensuring a stronger and smoother road surface.

The work may cause some temporary inconveniences, but the contractor and city staff will make a concerted effort to minimize disruptions. Though traffic patterns and on-street parking could be temporarily interrupted, access to and from your property will be maintained during the project.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to Dave Shuey, Streets Foreman or Chris Kuzma, City Engineer at (937) 298-0777. Thank you for your patience and support as we continue to enhance our community. We look forward to completing this project for the benefit of all residents.

Sincerely,
Chris Kuzma Signature
