July 9 - October 2018	Glencairn Neighborhood Water Main/Road Project This project will consist of milling and resurfacing roads in the area bounded by Harrison Road to the east, Saginaw Street to the north and Grand River Avenue to the southwest. Water main replacement will also take place on Wildwood Drive, from Harrison Road to Cowley Avenue; on Northlawn Avenue/Audubon Drive, from Harrison Avenue to Grand River Avenue; and University Drive, from Wildwood Driver to Grand River Avenue. Streets in this project area will be limited to local traffic only. UPDATE (10/16/18): The contractor will begin asphalt patch work on University and Wildwood drives starting Wednesday, Oct. 17, followed by asphalt base course on Thursday to level out the roadway where the water services trenches were. The patch work will create bumps in the roadway until they are filled with asphalt base course. The contractor is currently in the process of cleaning up Audubon Road, therefore, paving was pushed to Phase II first in order to get all of the prep work completed. The tentative schedule is to start paving on Phase II (all streets between Southlawn and Grand River) the week of Oct. 22 and start Phase 1 (all streets between Southlawn and Saginaw) the week of Nov. 5.
