"The Downtown Stormwater Trunk project contractor is actively installing new stormwater pipe on 166th Ave NE and at 170th Ave NE and Avondale Way. The work is occurring at night and that may explain why you have not observed much activity of late.

Much of the restoration and repair will involve "a pavement grind" and overlay of the asphalt roadway damaged by installation."  Read More >>

According to Mr Haley, installation of stormwater pipeline along 170th Ave. is scheduled for completion before 166th Ave.  "The current schedule shows that we will complete restoration and repair of 166th Ave. NE this early spring  after all the new stormwater pipe has been installed."

Haley says this sort of restoration and road repair activity is "the last major item of work for the contractor and is somewhat weather dependent. These factors make it difficult to predict the exact date of the repair to 166th Ave NE but rest assured the repair will be accomplished before the project is complete."

Comment:    ROAD GRINDING IS UNDERWAY, 4/26/12.  I'm not sure why completing the less traveled 170th Ave. takes precedence over 166th Ave. our primary arteriole to Education Hill and North Redmond. B.Y.  Comment?
