Forming up

Crews from curbing subcontractor, Geneva Curbing, began installing granite curbing by Ron Don's Village Pub and the Tompkins Trust Company Bank downtown this morning (09/29/06). The curbs by the bank delineate how far the new civic plaza extends out into the street. As the new curbs come into place crews can begin to fill in the digs behind the crubs with the soil/gravel fill required for the new surfaces; whether they be concrete, stone, brick, or asphalt.

While the rains yesterday did force the construction teams to leave early for the day, the weahter did not significantly hamper the construction schedule. Crews were able to return today and make good progress with the aforementioned Geneva Curbing teams placing new curb and Dekatherm teams preparing to approach the Elm St./Main St. intersection. Crews from A & K Slipform, the concrete subcontractor, are still scheduled to arrive on Monday October 2nd to begin the final sidewalk pours on the southside of West Main Street.
