Tentative Main Street Beautification Schedule
From Bryant & Bryant Contractors

(received 5-12-2008)
Collinsville Main Street Enhancement Project
Weekly Schedule May 12 to May 16 (
All Activities are Dependent on weather conditions being suitable for the tasks, and not affecting the technical specifications.)

May 12 Remove concrete that was poured Friday. It was rejected due to the air in the concrete. Remove dirt in the 10th to 11th, & compact dirt in the second block. Thompson landscaping will hook up there under drain in the first block.

May 13 Compact dirt, Set forms in the second block 11th to 12th

May 14 Pour curb & gutter 11th to 12th Maybe pour sidewalk as well.

May 15 Grade out for sidewalk in the 2nd block 11th to 12th

May 16 Pour Sidewalk in the 2nd block 11th to 12th

The Saturday May 10th photo above shows the (twice poured already) pavement in front of Bayouth's Insurance at 11th & Main. Based on the schedule info above and other comments I've heard today that sidewalk will be removed again. (UNBELIVEABLE! ... a short Ted Wright editorial). The Silver Dollar Cafe (and the rest of the next block east) still await their first attempt at new pavement.

This was the view in front of Bayouth's on March 20th (about a month & a half ago).
Fire Destroyed House Friday May 9th
This house (on 19th Street just across from the City Park) was destroyed by fire just after 10pm Friday May 9, 2008. The home was apparently unoccupied and fully engulfed when the Collinsville Fire Department arrived.
This was all that was left of the house at 19th & Reno the next morning (Saturday May 10th). At that time, the cause of the fire was still unknown.

Brush Pickup Question
Crowder Disaster Recovery will be getting the alleys also.

Pam Polk, City Manager (5/12/2008)
=================
Ted do you know what the city is going to do about all the brush left behind in the alleys by the electrical crews? I see reports the brush is to be piled by the residents in front of their homes but nothing about the alleyways. Thanks, R.C. -- (5/11/2008)
