The Ritchot Public Works Department has taken on a reconstruction and land drainage system installation project on Aubin Road. The work, underway since the beginning of June, is anticipated to be substantially completed by the end of July. The scope of the project consists of clearing, earth excavation, base work/aggregate, grading, packing, watering, hard surfacing and remedial landscaping. According to Public Works, hard surface will be applied by a contractor with remedial landscaping to follow once asphalt has been applied. For optimal results, once topsoil and hydroseed have been applied, Public Works is hoping residents will refrain from disrupting the area (no stepping on newly applied hydroseed) and help out the growth by watering the area (portion adjacent to property) twice daily for the first 7-10 days. Residents should see the grass germinating after 10 days where less watering will be required. They assure residents that both garbage and recycling, and emergency services will not be disrupted. Their plan during the construction period is to have municipal personnel onsite who will help coordinate any driveway disruptions with residents to minimize the length of closure and ensure alternate parking arrangements are made. With what can be a busy area, residents are asked to please drive slowly and with caution through the construction area, and if on foot, stay clear from equipment at all times. Lastly, the municipality is hoping parents can talk to their children and reminded them that while the project is underway they should not approach the area where the work is being performed. Should residents have any questions related to the project, please call the municipal office rather than approaching employees at the job site. Ritchot Public Works Office can be reached at 204-883-2142.
