Temporary Lane Closures on Pine Tree Drive -Pump Station No. 28 (PS 28)
Rehabilitation
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to inform the Mayor and City Commission of
temporary traffic impacts on Pine Tree Drive required to complete critical improvements associated with the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer Pump Station No. 28 (PS 28).
As part of the project, two (2) large diameter force mains (30-inches) located within the Pine Tree
Drive right-of-way must be mechanically restrained ( encased in concrete) for approximately 100 feet upstream from the pump station. This is a required industry standard to ensure system
stability and long-term operational reliability.
To safely complete this work, a two-phase Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan will be
implemented along Pine Tree Drive. Pine Tree Drive consists of four ( 4) lanes of traffic -two northbound (NB) and two southbound (SB). All MOT operations will follow FOOT Design Standards and MUTCD requirements.
Importantly, no closures will occur on weekends, and all work will be limited to between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM daily, however lane closure will remain 24 hours a day until 7:00 PM
on Friday and be closed again on Monday morning.
This work is anticipated to start on March 16.
The MOT phasing is as follows:
Phase 1: Closure of the two (2) center lanes.
•Traffic will be adjusted to one lane in each direction using the outside lanes only.•Pedestrian crosswalks will remain open throughout work hours.•The estimated duration is approximately 10 days.
Phase 2: Closure of both (2) southbound (SB) lanes. •Traffic will be adjusted to one lane in each direction using the existing NB lanes.o One (1) NB lane will be temporarily converted to a SB travel lane.
o One (1) NB lane will remain open for NB traffic.•Pedestrian crosswalks will remain open throughout work hours.
•The estimated duration will be less than 10 days (Following Phase 1 ).
Detour signage, cones, drums, advance warning signs, and police support (as needed) will be
deployed as indicated in the MOT plan. The overall traffic impact period is expected to last no
more than 2-3 weeks, encompassing both phases.
City staff will continue coordinating with the contractor, residents, and the Police Department to
minimize disruptions and maintain safe traffic flow during construction.
