The Proposed Project

This project will consist of repairs to existing asphalt walkways located on the northern, eastern and southern perimeter of the existing buildings of both 580 Booth St. and 588 Booth St. The existing walkway has and continues to deteriorate. It now represents a Health & Safety hazard to potential users and can no longer be considered accessible.

The pathways are to be assessed by a landscape architect. Recommendations for repair options will be made to PSPC and the landscape architect. The course of action is a re-paving project to resurface the pathway ensuring it is graded correctly with new asphalt topping. There is known shallow soil contamination on the property. The project will remove as little material as possible and does not anticipate excavation to be required below a depth of 12-16 inches. The project will include a scan for all utilities (gas, electrical, etc.).
