Hello Stakeholders,

The Garfield Harrison Storm Drain Project is substantially complete, with only a few remaining items currently being finalized. Over the next two weeks, construction activity will be limited as crews wrap up the final Phase 4 improvements. Below are project updates from this week, as well as general updates as the project nears completion:

1. Crews completed removal of the project storage yard and graded the area in preparation for site restoration.
2. Utility connections to the project trailer, including water and sanitary sewer service, have been disconnected as part of the project closeout.
3. A Connell Resources crew completed backfilling behind the newly installed curb, gutter, and sidewalk along West 10th Street.
4. Hoff Construction removed and replaced several damaged sections of concrete along West 10th Street.
5. Hoff Construction is completing work on the inlet just east of Lynx Drive on West 10th Street and expects to finish early next week.
6. Surveying and utility potholing along Colorado Avenue between 10th and 11th Streets are scheduled for early next week in preparation for the final storm pipe installation.
7. Installation of the final pipe segment is anticipated to begin around August 10, 2026, and continue through August 28, 2026.
8. This final phase of work will extend from the newly installed storm pipe at the intersection of Colorado Avenue and West 10th Street north to the Little Barnes Ditch crossing, then continue west and north within the Little Barnes Ditch easement to 11th Street, where it will connect to the existing storm pipe and inlet system. A full roadway closure is being requested to allow this work to be completed as efficiently as possible.

Important Notice:
Upcoming Temporary Closure at 8^th Street and Colorado Avenue Intersection

City crews will repair a leaking water valve at the intersection of west 8th Street and Colorado Avenue starting next week. Because the damaged valve is in the middle of the intersection, the intersection will be closed during repairs from Tuesday through Thursday, weather permitting. Residents should expect delays and should detour to Taft or Garfield Avenues.

Starting Tuesday, crews will dig around the 12-inch water main to prepare for a new valve installation. On Wednesday, the Utilities contractor will install a temporary valve to help keep water service running for nearby customers during the repair work. For questions about the repair or water services, contact the Utilities Department at 970-962-3000.

Hello Stakeholders,

1. The concrete crew continued working in sections along the south curb and gutter on 10th Street between Colorado Avenue and Douglas Avenue and also completed the sidewalk sections started last week.
2. No storm pipe was installed this week, as pipe installation was completed two weeks ago. However, crews did place riprap at the outlet structure along the channel near 1st Street.
3. The concrete crew has also been busy removing and replacing residential and apartment complex entrances while coordinating access with residents throughout construction.
4. Concrete work has begun at the intersection of Colorado Avenue and 10th Street and will continue next week, including installation of ADA ramps, sidewalk, curb, gutter and cross pans.
5. The base crew is expected to return late next week to begin removing asphalt along 10th Street, as well as the north-side sidewalk and entrances, in preparation for new sidewalk, curb, gutter and roadway paving.

Weather permitting, work activities are Monday - Friday, 7:00 am-5:00 pm.

Hello Stakeholders,

Below are project updates from this week, as well as for the upcoming week (May11-15):

1. Tuesday’s storm brought some much-needed moisture but temporarily halted work for a few days. With the snow now melted, crews are focusing on cleaning up mud and excess water throughout the project area.
2. On Monday, the concrete crew poured curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the east leg of West 10th Street on the south side adjacent to the apartment complex.
3. Before the storm arrived, the pipe crew completed the tie-in and flow-filled the remaining section at 10th Street and Colorado Avenue. Crews are allowing the intersection time to dry before resuming work in that area.
4. Connell Resources is also cleaning up the project staging area and removing excess materials in preparation for final site restoration once the project is completed, anticipated by mid-June 2026.
5. The concrete crew will continue progressing west along the south side of 10th Street from Colorado Avenue to Douglas Avenue. Work will be completed one access point at a time to help residents maintain access to their properties. For the property with only a single access point, crews are coordinating closely with the resident and will use high-early-strength concrete so access is only impacted for one day.
6. The base crew will return to continue reconstruction and cleanup work at the 10th Street and Colorado Avenue intersection. The concrete crew will also complete replacement sections of sidewalk, curb, gutter, and cross pans in the area.
7. The base crew will also begin removing sections of the north half of 10th Street where additional drainage improvements are needed to carry water across the roadway from north to south.

Thank you for your patience as we enter the final weeks of this project - a major effort that began five years ago. More updates will be shared as we continue moving toward project completion.

Weather permitting, work activities are Monday - Friday, 7:00 am-5:00 pm.

Below are project updates from this week, as well as for the upcoming week (April 27th - May 1st):

• Installation of the inlets at Douglas Avenue and 10th Street has been completed.
• The concrete crew began curb, gutter, and sidewalk work at Douglas Avenue and 10th Street and will continue this week.
• Crews will continue working at Colorado Avenue and 10th Street under a full roadway closure. Due to numerous existing utilities in the area and the age of the infrastructure work is progressing slowly to install the large storm pipe and manholes.
• This week, crews will continue pouring curb, gutter, inlet tops, and sidewalks. They will also begin the new curb and gutter section along the south side of 10th Street ahead of milling and repaving that portion of roadway.
