Update from Lee Tippe:

​"Phase 1-B was filed this past Tuesday and bids 18 March 2020.  Work includes water main and service replacement, plus asphalt resurfacing on Chandler Street from 18th Street to 10th Avenue.  The project also includes full reconstruction of the 10th Avenue intersection (timed to occur when school is out) and upgrades to an existing City storm sewer that crosses the school's softball complex and grounds.   We are also upgrading the  pedestrian access to the softball complex for ADA compatibility.

The flags and utility work on Chandler Street SW, South of the 10th Avenue intersection, and on 20th Street SW was related to fiber optic installation by Unite Private Networks (UPN). Cleveland Area Neighborhood Association and project area residents are welcome to contact me directly if they have questions."   

"The following is a brief summary of the upcoming projects in the Chandler Street SW and 20th Street SW area:
 
2020: Chandler Street between 10th Avenue and 18th Street; intersection of 10th Avenue and Chandler Street
Improvements include pavement repair and resurfacing, water main replacement, storm sewer upgrades and reconstruction of the 10th Avenue and Chandler Street intersection.  The intersection is scheduled to reopen before the start of school in August.   This project bids as Phase 1-B on 18 March 2020.
 
2021-2020: Chandler Street between 10th Avenue and around the “loop” to 20th Street, plus 20th Street between the Chandler Street intersections
Improvements include reconstruction of both Chandler Street and 20th Street, including new storm sewer and water main systems.  New sidewalk will be constructed from the existing sidewalk at the Jefferson High School entrance to 16th Avenue SW, then connecting to existing sidewalks on 16th Avenue.  This project bids in December 2020 or January 2021 as Phase 2."
