Project Update
(Historical Information Only)
|
The City of Citrus Heights
is planning to widen Greenback Lane from approximately Auburn Blvd. to Dewey
Drive. The Park Oaks Neighborhood Association agrees that Greenback Lane should
be widened.
Greenback Lane Widening
1/21/2006 Update
David
Wheaton, General Services Director, provided an update on the
Greenback Lane Widening.
 |
The project is over budget. To
cut costs David will be asking the contractor to bid night
construction into the project, effectively shortening the project and
reducing cost. |
|
There will be significant delays
along Greenback due to construction. |
|
There is one last property to
purchase and then David will come back to the council about the 2nd
meeting in February to get approval for additional funding for the
project. |
|
David
expects the project to go to bid
by mid-February and construction to begin in the spring. |
|
David indicated that further
neighborhood meetings will be held in the near future to discuss the
project. |
|
David
said there are plans for improvements that include a new portion of
sound wall that extends from the existing wall to Greenback adjacent
to the aparments near Parkoaks Drive. |
|
The land at the corner
of Parkoaks and Greenback will be used for tenant parking while a
portion of one apartment building is removed to increase parking in
the apartment complex. |
Soundwall Complete
The Greenback Lane sound wall
construction is complete. The power lines and utility lines are being
moved to the newly installed poles in the open space area.
The city
has a very aggressive schedule for beginning the street widening. The
contract was planned to go out to bid in October so that major
construction could begin by the 1st of the year. We (the board) will
verify this schedule and post updates.
The
dusty open area along Greenback will be used as staging area for road
widening. Near the end of the project, this area will be landscaped
with input from our community. The Historical and Arts Commission is
helping us to come up with historical or artistic designs for this
area. |

Here is
the wall that wraps into the Fuqua Physical Therapy parking lot at
Greenback and Dewey. We have had compliments on how nice the wall
looks.

And here is the finished
wall looking from Oakside and Greenback east toward Parkoaks Drive.
The wall looks to be all of the 10 foot in height that the neighbors
wanted. See previous construction photos below.
