This is your Friday update for the 300\400 block of N Washington Streetscape Project. 
We are down to the final items of the project which are the placing of the original streetlights back on their new foundations. That work was started yesterday and continued today. The crew will return next week to continue with the wiring connections, bulb installations and overall testing of the fixtures. 
As we get the end of the project the next step is to complete a thorough walkthrough with the design engineer, the accessibility inspector from the State and myself. This will occur next week and creates the punchlist for the contractor to address. Once that is complete the project will be deemed substantially complete and the Council will consider accepting the project and releasing the collected retainage which makes the project officially completed. That Council action is expected to occur as soon as September 26th but most likely the first meeting in October.
