Starker Avenue Resurfacing with Utilities

Construction along Starker Avenue continues throughout the project. The contractor is currently installing the sanitary sewer main and laterals between Woodvale Drive and Wendy Lane. At the same time, water main installation is underway from Woodvale Drive to Vondron Road, and storm sewer main installation is progressing throughout the entire project area. 

All underground utility work is expected to be completed by early July.

In addition to utility work, the contractor has started cutting in and shaping the roadway at the intersection of Starker Avenue and Droster Road. As this underground work wraps up, crews will continue moving west along Starker Avenue to shape and prepare the rest of the street for concrete and asphalt pavement.

Once sections of the roadway are prepared, concrete work, including curb and gutter as well as driveway aprons will begin. This will start at Droster Road and continue westward.

The Contractor is in track to have the entire street cut in and shaped by the end of July.

The project remains on schedule for completion by the end of August 2025.
