In Rawlins, a public meeting will be held this morning to discuss a plan to build Edinburgh Street on the east side of town.
Taxpayers approved the project with the Specific Purpose Tax in 2019. The project will rebuild utilities, street surface and install a new stormwater drainage system.
The stormwater system will help protect the new road from the significant road damage present on Edinburgh Street because of ongoing groundwater issues.
Public Works Director Cody Dill said the project will address the water and sewer issues in that are of the city. “The new road will be greatly improved for driving, and the new groundwater system will protect the road going forward,” Dill said.
The Edinburgh Street project includes:
- Replacement of the existing water main and sanitary sewer system
- Installation of new storm sewers
- Road reconstruction, including curb, gutter, and sidewalk
- Sidewalk additions and ADA-accessible pedestrian ramps
The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled at City Hall for this morning at 11:00 a.m.
The Public Bid Opening is set for September 9 at 2:30 p.m.
