Dear East 40th Neighbors,

Contractors will be paving the entrance to the site on Friday, Nov. 5.

The paving is intended as an additional erosion control measure to reduce the amount of sediment leaving the site and entering the gutter.

Since the entrance will be unavailable during paving, there will be some trucks parked on Patterson St. on Friday.

Also on Friday, drilling work will resume.

Several more blasting mats have been delivered to the site as part of the contractor’s additional safety measures following the Nov. 2 blasting incident. Once we have verified all remedies are done and in place, we will authorize the contractor to resume blasting. At this time, we expect blasting to resume on Tuesday, Nov. 9.
