RE: Mountain Sunrise - City of Yelm Project No. SUB-03-8329-YL
Wilkensen Road
Dear Mr. Johnson:
The City of Yelm has reviewed your request for Wilkensen Road traffic control. The City of Yelm will allow the single lane closure of Wilkensen Road under the following conditions:
The single lane road closure hours shall be from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The lane can not be closed during peak traffic hours.
Traffic control signage and flaggers will be placed as outlined in the letters dated December 1, 2004 and December 6, 2004. If this does not adequately control the traffic to the expectations
of the City of Yelm, traffic revisions will be required during the construction.
At the end of each day the work area will be graded and rolled to allow two-way traffic. ¾” minus crushed rock will be required to provide a smooth driving surface for the construction
lane until paving is completed. This surfacing does not take the place of the required structural section of the roadway.
The structural section of Wilkensen and Canal Roadway is 3” class B asphalt, 2” crushed rock and 8” of gravel base. No substitutions or approved equals will be allowed in these roadways.
Please submit a written construction schedule and with current dates of the anticipated construction for the frontage and realignment of the intersection. Upon receipt and review of
this document the City will notify you with an approval to proceed.
If the single lane closure does not meet the City of Yelm expectations or the City receives a large number of public complaints the contractor will be required to complete the construction
utilizing 2 lanes of through traffic.
If you have any questions or concerns you can contact me at (360) 458-8438 or email at jimg@ci.yelm.wa.us.
Respectfully,
Community Development Department
