Grover Beach to begin first phase of street repairs

Work on the first street-repair project funded by Measure K-14 in Grover Beach is scheduled to start Monday.

In November, voters approved Measure K-14, authorizing the city to issue and sell bonds to fund its long-awaited street-repair program. The total construction cost for this first phase is $899,562 which includes construction inspection and management.

Streets receiving attention in the first phase of the project include Brighton Avenue from 13th Street to Oak Park Boulevard, Nice Avenue from 12th Street to 13th Street and South Seventh Street from West Grand Avenue to Rockaway Avenue, according to a city news release. The repairs will begin Monday with waterline upgrades for Nice and Brighton avenues.

CalPortland out of Santa Maria was awarded the $673,562 contract by the Grover Beach City Council in July and is now in the process of preparing the streets for construction.

Neighborhood meetings will be held this week to inform residents of construction timing and impacts.

The construction will include the repair and rehabilitation of the streets’ pavement, repair of curbs and gutters where necessary and the construction of accessible corner ramps in some locations, according to the release. Residents should expect intermittent traffic and access disruption through January 2016.
