BACKGROUND
This action will authorize a construction services contract with Rebcon LLC for the construction of Commerce Street from Good Latimer Expressway to Exposition Avenue.
This thoroughfare improvement project will convert the existing five lanes of one-way traffic into a two-lane two-way street with on-street parking. The scope of services consists of replacing the existing deteriorating pavement with new reinforced concrete pavement, storm drainage improvements, sidewalks, curb and gutter, drive approaches, signing and striping, traffic signals, pedestrian lighting, landscaping, streetscaping, water and wastewater main improvements, and other miscellaneous items necessary to complete the project. The scope also includes the conversion of Elm Street from Good Latimer Expressway to Exposition Avenue from a one-way traffic pattern to a two-way traffic pattern to complement Commerce Street.
