The City of York Council will start work week commencing 2nd March 2015 to reconstruct the footway shown on the plan left.
This scheme is programmed to take 5 weeks, weather permitting.
The work consists of fully excavating the footway and reconstructing from the ground up in tarmac, new pin kerbs are to be installed to the rear of the footway and selected road kerbs are to be replaced.
The Contractor carrying out the work will be City of York Council’s Highways department who are responsible for safety and for providing access while the work is ongoing.
The contractor will be working between 9:00am and 4:00pm Monday to Thursday, and 9:00am to 12:30pm on Fridays.
Residents have been offered a discounted extension or new vehicle crossing if constructed as part of this scheme. Anyone wishing to take advantage of this offer should telephone 01904 553130 before construction commences.
Existing vehicle crossing are to be reconstructed to current dimensions.
Bollards
Nearby, the we have reported the damaged illuminated bollard on the approach to the roundabout as requiring attention.
It is one of several bollards which should be illuminated as an aid to road safety,
Unlit bollard poses safety risk at night
but which have been faulty for several weeks.
Missing 20 mph sign on Briar Avenue. Other signs requiring attention are ignored by Council (Click to enlarge)
We think this sort of work should have a higher priority for the Council than putting up unnecessary 20 mph signs at the entrance to short cul de sacs.
The ones on Briar Avenue (right) have already been vandalised.
