Shady Meadow Drive Reconstruction

Shady Meadow Drive has been the subject of ongoing resident complaints and drainage concerns for several
years due to the street's flat grade and chronic water ponding.

The pavement condition index (PCI) is 53, reflecting significant deterioration that warrants full reconstruction.
This project will reconstruct Shady Meadow Drive with concrete pavement, replacing the existing asphalt
surface. Asphalt removal is included in the scope to account for the possibility of concrete pavement beneath
the existing surface. Excavation is assumed at 18 inches across the roadway width.

Water infrastructure improvements include the replacement of the existing 4-inch water main with an 8-inch
line to meet current capacity and fire flow standards.

Storm sewer improvements will extend approximately 60% of the roadway length, originating from the Shady
Brook/Shady Meadow intersection, and will include inlet capture sumps and re-grading to eliminate flat spots
and improve drainage conveyance.

Sanitary sewer is generally located in the rear of lots; however, approximately 470 LF of sanitary sewer within
or near the roadway at the Shady Meadow/Shady Brook intersection is included in the scope for realignment,
straightening of existing curves, and installation of additional manholes as needed.

This project is expected to reduce long-term operating costs associated with reactive pavement maintenance,
pothole repairs, and drainage-related service calls on Shady Meadow Drive. Upsizing the water main from 4
inches to 8 inches will improve system reliability and reduce the frequency of water main breaks and pressure-
related maintenance. Replacing the pavement with concrete is anticipated to extend pavement service life
significantly compared to asphalt, reducing future maintenance expenditures. Storm sewer improvements and
re-grading will reduce standing water complaints and associated crew response time.
