HELLO, GOOD EVENING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024 FROM THE ENGINEERING DIVISION OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF CITY OF DESOTO.
I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT, UH, HOLIDAY SEASON.
I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENDANCE TO THIS, UH, PUBLIC MEETING TO THIS AL PUBLIC MEETING.
SO WELCOME TO THE PUBLIC MEETING.
IN THIS AL PUBLIC MEETING, YOU'LL BE DISCUSSING A, UM, CREATIVELY SMALL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT FOR PAVEMENT ON NOT A SMALL LAND ROAD PROJECT.
UH, SO WE WILL PROVIDE YOU CONSTRUCTION RELATED INFORMATION AS WELL AS WE WILL PROVIDE YOU THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN.
ON THIS SLIDE, YOU ARE SEEING A MAP OF CITY OF DESOTO, AND AS YOU SEE, THERE ARE SOME PORTION OF DEFINED ROAD THAT ARE MARKED.
SO WE STARTED A PROJECT, UM, IN FALL OF, IN ACTUALLY SUMMER OF 2023.
THE, WE HAD AND CONTRACTED THE FIRST FINISHED THE PARKER BAY ROAD, THEN YOUR ROAD, THEN THEY MOVED TO THE MEADOWS PARKWAY.
ONCE THEY COMPLETED THE MEADOWS PARKWAY, THEY ALSO DID A, UH, RECONSTRUCTION FOR A PORTION OF IWIN ROAD.
NOW THIS IS OUR LAST PART OF THE PROJECT FOR RESTRICT CONSTRUCTION.
AS YOU SEE A SMALL, UM, SECTION, UH, SHOWN AS BRIGHT RED NEAR ON WESTMORE LAND NEAR WINTER WIND ROAD.
THAT IS THE E SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT.
ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE CLOUD AREA HERE.
SO THE CLOUD AREA IS BASICALLY FROM WEST TO WINTER, GREEN ROAD ON THE NORTH, THE INTERSECTION OF WINTER GREEN ROAD AND WESTMORELAND ROAD, AND UP TO THE BREEZE OVER THE 10 MILE CREEK.
THIS IS, THIS IS THE PARTICULAR AREA WHERE THE CON ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION WORK WILL HAPPEN.
SO BASICALLY THE CONT WE HAD THE CONTRACTOR, THEIR NAME IS RELIABLE PAVING.
THEY WILL REMOVE THE EXISTING PAVEMENT AND THEY WILL RE REPAIR.
BUT WHAT THAT IS SPECIFIC PART, NOT THE ENTIRE WIND OR SMALL LAND ROAD, ZAED, THIS SMALL PORTION FROM THE INTERSECTION OF WINTER GREEN ROAD TO THE BREEZE OR ON 10 MILE CREEK.
AS YOU SEE, THIS SLIDE ALSO SHOWS YOU THE DETOUR PLAN FOR THE TRAFFIC.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, ALL THE HOMES ON EAST SIDE OF WESTMORELAND ROAD, THEY WILL ACTUALLY HAVE EXCESS OR ON PLEASANT FRONT ROAD AND WESTMORELAND ROAD, NO INTERRUPTION.
HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A BARRICADE AT THIS LOCATION ON WESTMORELAND ROAD, NEAR BPORT ROAD.
SO THAT, UM, BARRICADE IS FOR ALL THE THROUGH TRAFFIC.
HOWEVER, WE ARE AWARE OF THAT.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE HOMES FROM, UM, BPORT ROAD DRIVE TO THE BREEZE ON
SO OUR CONTRACTOR WILL ACTUALLY PROVIDE, UM, ACCESS TO THOSE HOMES.
SO ANY CAR THAT NEEDS TO GO TO THEIR HOME THAT IS LOCATED IN BE ON A SMALL LAND ROAD, UM, FROM THIS POINT TO THE BREEZE, THEY WILL BE ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO GO TO THEIR HOME.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, THERE WILL BE, UH, LOTS OF SIGNERS, UH, GOING TO BE NOAL TO PROVIDE YOU GUIDANCE AND I THINK, UM, OUR CONTRACTOR ACTUALLY WANT THE, UH, DELIVERED SOME NOTIFICATIONS TO ALL THE HOMES IN THAT AREA AND THEY WILL DELIVER ANOTHER ROUND OF NOTIFICATIONS TO ALL THE HOMES.
THE CONSTRUCTION WILL ACTUALLY START, UH, ON JANUARY EIGHT, BASICALLY, UH, NEXT, UM, UH, MONDAY AND IT'S ACTUALLY, IT'S A THREE DAY PROJECT.
IF, UH, IF THE WEATHER CONDITION IS FAVORABLE, THE WORK WILL START ON EIGHT AND FINISH ON 10.
BUT IF, IF THE WEATHER CONDITION IS UH, PROBLEMATIC
[00:05:01]
OR IF THE WEATHER CONDITION PREVENTS THE WORK, THE SCHEDULE WILL BE MODIFIED.BUT OVERALL THE WORK IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE NO MORE THAN THREE DAYS.
UH, HOWEVER, AFTER THE WORK IS DONE, THE CONTRACTOR WOULD COME BACK AND THEY DO, THEY WOULD DO PA TYPING LIKE THE LANDMARKING, BUT FOR THAT LANDMARKING, UM, THERE WILL NOT BE ANY BAGGAGE.
THERE WILL BE SOME TRAFFIC CON AND PEOPLE WILL AND GUIDE THE CAR, BUT THERE WILL BE NO LAND CLOSURE.
SO WITHIN THAT CLOUD AREA, FROM THE WINTER GREEN ROAD TO THE BREEZE AND BOTH LANDS WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED.
NECESSARY SIGNAGE WILL BE INSTALLED AT APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS, UH, THRASH ORCYCLE.
SO THERE WILL BE NO INTERRUPTION OF THINGS TO THE TRASH COLLECTION.
ALSO, THERE WILL BE NO SEND TO THE MAIL DELIVERY OF USPS OR OTHER SERVICES.

I WILL GIVE YOU A FEW SECONDS.
IF YOU WANNA TAKE A PHOTO OF THIS SLIDE AGAIN, THIS, UH, PRESENTATION WILL BE AVAILABLE ON CITI'S FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.
UH, THAT'S BASICALLY THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION FOR A VERY SMALL SCALE, UH, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.
BUT I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND AND I WILL, UH, ALLOW YOU TO TALK.
YOU CAN ALSO TYPE YOUR QUESTIONS AND WE WILL RE READ AND RESPOND.
AND WE ALSO HAVE, UH, OTHER CITY STAFF WHO CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, UH, AS WELL AS, UH, WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CONTRACTOR.
I I AM SEEING, UH, QUESTIONS FROM MS. GONZALEZ.
UH, SHE WROTE, I AM A RESIDENT IN THE FROST FARM TWO SUBDIVISION.
IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY EXPECTED INCREASE OF TRAFFIC OR REDIRECTION THROUGH THE FIRST FARM? TWO STATES? FIRST FARM TWO HAS AN ENTRANCE AND EXIT AT 800 BRIDGEPORT DRIVE AND A SMALL LAND.
OKAY, UH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
SO, UM, YOU ARE ACTUALLY ASKING AT BPORT DRIVE ANY EXPECTED INCREASE OF TRAFFIC? UM, I DON'T THINK SO.
UM, BECAUSE IT, IT'LL BE BASICALLY THE TRAFFIC FOR THESE RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISIONS ONLY.
WE WILL HAVE SIGNERS AT THE INTERSECTION OF PRESENT TURN ROAD AND, UH, WESTMORE LAND ROAD.
SO, UH, NORTH ROAD TRAFFIC ACTUALLY WOULD ATTEMPT TO GO THROUGH THE WESTMORE LAND ROAD, BUT I WILL ALSO LET, UH, MY, UM, OTHER EMPLOYEE LIKE ANTHONY PUENTES, CONSTRUCTION MANAGER IF HE WANTS TO ADD ANY INFORMATION ON OR, UH, WE ALSO HAVE OUR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR REPRESENTATIVE, MR. GARCIA.
THEY CAN ALSO ADD INFORMATION IF THEY WANT TO ADD ANYBODY.
UH, THERE SHOULDN'T BE EXITING KNOW NEW, UM, TRAFFIC GOING.
WE'VE HAD THE SIGNS, UH, FOR ALREADY TWO WEEKS, UH, TO LET PEOPLE KNOW OR THE RESIDENTS KNOW AND, UM, ONGOING TRAFFIC TO KNOW THAT THERE'S A, A CONSTRUCTION COMING IN.
[00:10:01]
BE THAT MUCH GOING THROUGH.IT'S JUST GONNA BE NORMAL RESIDENCE IN THE AREA.
AND THEN YOU JUST TAKE A LONG MEADOW TO, UH, PLEASANT RUN.
IT'S JUST GONNA BE THE CLOSURE FROM, UH, WHERE MD SAID FROM BRIDGEPORT TO WINTERGREEN THAT'S GONNA BE, UH, AFFECTED.
UM, IT JUST INCONVENIENT YOU'D HAVE TO GO TO PROPER HILL OR HAMPTON TO GET BACK TO WINTERGREEN OR CUT THROUGH TO GET TO, UH, THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
UM, MS. GONZALEZ IS, IS, IS OUR ANSWER CLEAR TO YOU AND THAT WE ARE NOT ACTUALLY EXPECTING ANY INCREASED TRAFFIC? OKAY.
UM, SO THAT'S SECOND QUESTION THAT SHE HAS.
WHAT ARE THE EXPECTED START TIMES ON JANUARY 8TH AND END TIME ON JANUARY 10 FOR THE DEPOSIT AS WELL? WE HAVE A STANDARD CONSTRUCTION TIME AND THAT IS 7:00 AM TO 6:00 PM ANTHONY, IS THAT RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT, YES.
SO THE CONTACTOR WILL ACTUALLY START, UM, AT THE STANDUP STARTING TIME ON ANY DAY.
SO THEY WILL BASICALLY START AT 7:00 AM ON JANUARY EIGHT AND EXPECT TO FINISH AT 6:00 PM ON JANUARY 10.
AGAIN, IT'S WEATHER PERMITTING.
IF FOR WEATHER SITUATION, IF THEY CANNOT WORK ON ANY DAY, THEY WILL BE WORKING THE NEXT DAY.
UH, SO BASICALLY THEY WILL WORK JUST FOR THREE DAYS.
SO SHE ASKS A FOLLOW UP QUESTION.
SO, UH, POST FARM TWO WILL HAVE AN INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC THROUGH, UH, FIRST FARMS TWO AREA.
THERE, WE, WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY, UH, EXTRA TRAFFIC.
THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE ARE SUFFICIENT, UM, SIGNERS ALREADY BEING, YOU KNOW, STALLED AND WILL BE KNOW STALLED.
THAT SHOULD POPE PROVIDE, UH, ENOUGH GUIDANCE AND DIRECTIONS TO THE TRAFFIC ON WESTMORE LAND AND PRESENT RUN ROAD, THAT IF THEY WANT TO WANT TO GO TO WINTER GREEN ROAD OR FURTHER NORTH, THEY NEED TO DO D TWO.
SO THEY WOULD NOT ENTER, UH, INTO WESTMORELAND ROAD.
UH, SO THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY INCREASED TRAFFIC.
EH, I, I SAW, UH, YOU, YOU, YOU WROTE, YOU, YOU CAN'T SPEAK, LET ME SEE.
I'M NOT SEEING, UM, ANY OPTION HERE THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO TALK, BUT THERE SHOULD BE, UM, I CAN'T SEE ANY, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN WRITE AND WE WOULD, UH, RESPOND.
