Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Standing on dirt and loose rocks along West Houston Street, Kerry Averyt explained that the San Antonio River Authority has tried to be a good neighbor during construction of San Pedro Creek Culture Park.

Construction of the linear park has required many road closures downtown, impacting area businesses. The river authority keeps an updated webpage of road closures on the San Pedro Creek Culture Park site.

We affect businesses along Houston Street and theres no question, theres some impact there, said Averyt, the river authoritys senior engineer. But we keep working and coordinating with all of our stakeholders up and down the creek to minimize it as much as possible.

Averyt led a tour Thursday of a segment of San Pedro Creek Culture Park stretching from Houston to Nueva streets. Phase 1s second segment is targeted for completion in November 2021. The price tag for Phases 1 and 2 of four planned phases is $260 million, Averyt said.

Historic preservation and respect for archeological exploration have influenced construction in a segment of the project that includes two historical landmarks: the 1949 Alameda Theater and the 18th-century Spanish Governors Palace. Construction has had to adapt to the occasional archeological dig, Project Manager Ryan Silbernagel said; there have been three digs in Calder Alley and one by the Spanish Governors Palace.

But the digs dont delay construction, as archeologists are able to set up alongside construction, Silbernagel said.

There havent been any major significant finds, Silbernagel said. Mostly a lot of pottery shards.

Some of the more interesting cultural artifacts will eventually be displayed as part of the San Pedro Creek Culture Park, Averyt said.

Designers and engineers have also maintained many historic elements throughout the project. Averyt pointed to a fire escape on the side of the Alameda Theater that they decided to keep through its renovation.

Originally we wanted to take that fire escape down, but this is a historic building, a historic structure, he said. It was a lot less complicated to leave that in place if we could.

The original fire escape is preserved on the side of the Alameda Theater next to the future entertainment plaza.

The Historic and Design Review Commission approved the final renovation design for the theater in October; work is expected to begin early next year.

About 30 percent of a retaining wall in Calder Alley was salvaged to use in the creek project too, Silbernagel added.

This segment of the linear park will include two permanent art installations. In November, Bexar County commissioners selected Brooklyn artist Adam Franks design for an interactive light installation at a water wall along one of the paseos. A microphone picks up close-range sound, and people can manipulate the light reaction with what kind of noises they make. And further down the creek, the river authority is looking for artists to paint a five-panel mural, public art curator Carrie Brown said.

We are just now starting the selection process but were working closely with Bexar County to frame what the mural content will be, Brown said.

The segment also will have an entertainment plaza by the Alameda Theater that can be utilized in many different ways, Brown said. Designers had considered building an amphitheater, but that would not have been as useful, she added.

When you have an amphitheater, its an amphitheater, and thats how you have to use it, Brown said. Now that we have a plaza, its much more flexible. We didnt want to build something that wouldnt be functional for people who would use it.

Funding sources for Phases 3 and 4 of the San Pedro Creek project are still being identified by the river authority. Those phases are being planned and would extend the linear park to South Alamo Street. Bexar County has paid for the bulk of the project, while the 2017 municipal bond allocated $19.5 million to the linear park. The county also expects to receive some federal dollars from the Mission Reach projects federal reimbursement.

River Authority Shows Progress on Construction of San Pedro Creek Culture Park - Rivard Report

LAUREL to Councilmember MARK TREYGER for securing $850,000 in city funds to fight gun violence in Brooklyns Coney Island neighborhood. The money, which came from the City Council discretionary budget, as well as a $300,000 grant from the city and $250,000 from the state. The funds are earmarked for expanding the mayors anti-gun violence Crisis Management System throughout Coney Island and funding the Coney Island Anti-Violence Collaborative and other local organizations. The neighborhood has seen an uptick in shootings, making it an outlier in Brooklyn South, where shootings are down 23 percent this year. Coney Island, historically, has been very much an under-resourced community, Treyger told Brooklyn Eagle. Were working to make sure Coney Island is never under-resourced again.

DART to the DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS, which, a month after an outcry from homeowners who were hit with violations from the department due to deteriorating retaining walls adjoining their properties, has yet to rescind the notices. The department promised to void the violations, but that still hasnt happened, according to Assemblymember William Colton. A spokesperson for the DOB has said the notices will be rescinded once the New York City Transit Authority confirms they will take responsibility for the retaining walls at each of the properties. In the meantime, homeowners with violations could have trouble selling their properties or obtaining loans through no fault of their own.

DART to the DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, which has said it will take two years to implement a plan to address the traffic nightmare unfolding every day outside of the $1.9 billion Essex Crossing development on the Lower East Side. Drivers at Clinton and Grand get backed up for blocks as they wait for pedestrians to cross, creating a cacophony of horns that residents say lasts long into the night. The DOT plans to open a second lane for traffic on Norfolk, and to ban right turns at the busy intersection, but says those changes will take at least two years to implement. The whole thing sucks, resident Leah Strock told Gothamist. I would invite you to come over and sleep at my apartment. The only time its ever quiet is Sunday morning, for about two hours.

LAUREL to performance artist DAVID DATUNA, who ate a $120,000 banana duct-taped to a wall at Art Basel in Miami last weekend. The piece drew huge crowds, generated media attention and eventually sold for its ludicrously high asking price. Datuna, who opened a gallery in Long Island City in June, plucked the banana from the wall and took a bite as part of a performance he dubbed Hungry Artist. He later told People magazine, It was delicious. I say, bananas are meant to be eaten, not duct taped to walls and priced at $120,000. Datuna was right to take this absurd exhibition to the pinnacle of absurdity.

Opinion from the Editors: Thursday, November 12 - Brooklyn Reporter

One of Windsors worst street bottlenecks and longstanding complaints from the cycling community is finally being remedied with construction of a bike-pedestrian tunnel under a CN Rail overpass.

The area is in the heart of the citys major north-south thoroughfare on Dougall Avenue a four-lane artery that feeds traffic from Windsors southern suburbs into Ouellette Avenue and the citys downtown, and vice versa.

While there are paths and sidewalks north and south of the overpass, there are only a couple of dirt goat paths used precariously by cyclists and the occasional pedestrian located immediately beside the busy commuter route.

In fact, the bottleneck has been dubbed the Dougall Death Trap, mainly a cautionary description because no actual cycling or pedestrian deaths have occurred there in recent memory.

However, after years of lobbying by the cycling community and others, city council approved the project and a related one immediately north that will create a signalized intersection at a merging corner that in fact has been the citys top non-signalized intersection for motor vehicle accidents.

The underpass, with local Amico the contractor, comes in at $6.2 million, and the intersection, with nearby LaSalles Sterling Ridge undertaking the work, is $1.3 million. The two sites are located within what city planners officially describe as Windsors Central Box.

But it took many months of negotiations with CN Rail before work could begin. Thats because the roughly 30-metre long tunnel had to be cut at an angle under the busy CN track which sees back and forth shunting to the nearby Van de Water rail yard.

But instead of boring through the embankment engineers on the design-build project thought it more efficient to excavate from the top down to the ground.

To do this they had to temporarily remove over 30 meters of rail track. To impede train movements as little as possible this work had to be done in a marathon 48-hour weekend blitz. This occurred in late November when the rail line was shut down at noon on a Friday and re-opened Sunday night.

Crews used two-352 excavators and, for safety reasons, dug in a trapezoidal fashion from 33 metres wide at the top to a depth of eight metres and six metres wide at base.

Roughly at 12:15 p.m. we started excavating the material and hauling it to our dumping site and that roughly took about 6.5 hours, Amicos project manager Dan Krueger said. Some contaminated soil, expected after decades of railway use, was found and disposed of.

This was followed by the laying of a granular base which took about three hours. Then Amico installed the precast box culvert sections, which took about 20 hours.

The 14 sections 4.1 metres tall and six metres wide (with inside dimensions three metres tall by five metres wide) and manufactured by Anchor Concrete of Kingston, ON. were lifted into place by a 200-tonne crane.

We just rigged it up with some little hooks on the top and just move into place, Krueger said.

The final step was waterproofing with a rubberized membrane along with the installation of protection and drainage boards to prevent water intrusion. The water will drain along the sides to sub drains and then into roadside catch basins on Dougall Ave.

Meanwhile crews had already completed work building the 300-metre retaining wall along the CN embankment, separating the hill from the new multi-use bike and pedestrian trail which will flow from the tunnel.

The trail itself will be 3.5 metres wide bordered from the street by a one-metre wide stamped concrete buffer and separated from the retaining wall by a 0.75-metre concrete buffer. And the retaining wall varies in height between 1.5 metres and 2.5 metres with a 1.2-metre high railing on top.

We will have a one-metre stamped concrete buffer strip so it just provides a little delineation between the edge of the trail and the curb, City of Windsor project manager Paul Mourad said.

Much of the underpass and trail work will be finished this fall with at least a granular trail laid, with final paving work and an official site opening next spring.

And, a project discussed for decades likely will be well received by pedestrians and especially the cycling community. They heavily promote active transportation so theyll be happy when this is done, Mourad said.

Construction of tunnel to end Windsor's 'Dougall Death Trap' - Daily Commercial News

Following Alton City Council meetings has never been the highlight of excitement in ones life. However, cruising through the minutes and the agendas of 11-23-2019s meeting, we can read that Altons City Councill has approved TEMPORARY shelters and warming centers for the homeless and I can honestly say I dont know if this is a topic of conversation every winter, or if its because our homeless population has increased so much in the past few years, that it now has to be a topic of discussion.

Either way, I find myself torn with the word temporary. If you put tape over a leaky hole in a dam, thats a temporary fix, it will not hold for any extended period of time, eventually it will give away to the pressure. If we give the homeless population a temporary place to hunker down this winter, thats a great start, but what about their futures? Can we actually help them to receive public assistance? SSI? Housing? Free cell phones? Help them become independent members of society.

No, we are not responsible for their choices in the past, but as productive members of society I think we have a duty to help those less fortunate. After all, we dont know what their fight is; maybe they are fighting addiction, domestic violence, mental illness, sickness or theyre runaways looking for a place where they can be accepted; in any of these cases we should make getting help easier. Theres a 6 months wait at Centerstone, one of the only places that takes state insurance and offers MAT for addicts wishing to be in recovery and cant go cold turkey, they have mental health counseling, possible housing, transportation and free phones for clients. Alton Memorial offers a three-day detox, but there is at least a weeks wait to get a bed and even then its not coordinated with any clinics around here. While we should be grateful to have those services it is nowhere near good enough.

Prime example: There is a man I see sitting at Centerstone every day on my way to work. He lives at night in a doorway of a church that is blocked from the wind, hidden from view, a dumpster on one side and a cold brick wall on the other. I run into him all over town, but every day he gets up at 6 am, rolls up his house and walks over to Centerstone. I asked him one day last summer, why are you always up here? he replied, I signed up for housing, and theres a years wait. I come here every day hoping today's the day I get in and dont have to sleep outside. Six months later I still see him there every day. It made me realize how much we all take for granted, the simplest of things like heat, a house, a car, money to buy food. The basic necessities that separate us from an animal chained up outside in the winter. It saddens me that instead of our city headed in a direction of rejuvenation, of small business and its people -we have tried to ignore this problem for too long. Spring, summer, and fall the homeless are fine, cooling centers? We had none. Cold weather hits, our neighbors across the river have warm-up St. Louis that really starts at the end of summer, here it is December and Alton has just now approved warm centers and temporary shelters.

Educate yourself and drive through upper Alton, downtown and middle town, at any time of day (not the housing projects). Perhaps youll see People walking and carrying their belongings, their houses, pushing shopping carts, huddled in the back of stores by the dumpsters trying to keep warm, sitting on benches with their backs turned to the world trying to be invisible, panhandlers, people searching trash cans, beggars for food and drug addicts nodded out at bus stops or on the sidewalks leaned up against trees and retaining walls. The number of homeless seems to multiply by 2 every month, and as this problem becomes more prevalent I believe its time for a more permanent solution than the City Council TEMPORARY relief.

We have space, the buildings, and even places that throw all cooked unsold food out at the end of the day instead of donating it, and many restaurants use this practice. There is so much waste in this town, a waste of food, material objects, money, houses and time. Someone in power needs takes control and do something constructive about the suffering this population faces.

Letter to the Editor: A Millennial Problem in This Old City - RiverBender.com

Before long, we will be ringing in a new decade and celebrating the start of 2020. A great deal of progress has been made within and surrounding Murdo this past year. Major projects for the community in 2019 included new sidewalks, a new facility for Jones County Elementary School (JCES) and the state Highway 83 highway improvement project.

These projects serve the community well, contribute to the curb appeal and invoke civic pride. Now, the communitys elders can use their walkers on the sidewalks to safely go down the street. Parents send their children to a school knowing they are being educated in a safe and secure facility. For those who travel between the communities of Murdo and White River, South Dakota Highway 83 will offer a new, safe roadway.

Before the contractors began the sidewalk project, the city submitted grant applications to the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SD-DOT). The planning for this project began approximately seven years ago and encountered snafus in funding approval. Finally, the city received approval for a program that encompassed a variety of smaller-scale transportation projects such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails [and] safe routes to school projects.

Krysti Barnes, finance officer for the city of Murdo, noted the program entails a split of the total cost18% to the city, 82% to the stateestimated at approximately $560,000. Anderson Contractors, Inc., Ft. Pierre, received the contract for the total construction of the project that encompassed eight blocks, including a retaining wall located south of JCES. The elements of this unusually wet year, delayed the start and affected project progress.

Anderson formed and poured the sidewalks with crosswalks that provide a smooth transition to the street, sloping to street level with a safety traction approach. This project is a work in progress and brings a better quality of life to many residents. If the weather doesnt present significant delays, the projected completion of this project is the spring or summer of 2020. In the future, the city hopes to obtain funding to proceed with installation of more sidewalks, interconnecting the community and offering a safe way to walk through the community to visit or to just take a stroll with friends.

JCES staff and students recently moved from the old school into the new, 16,900 square foot facility. It is a gem for the community and will serve the educational needs of children today and future generations. The former school opened in 1965 during the age of George Jetson. The new school boasts technology similar to that seen in the treasured 1962 sitcom. The new JCES utilizes wireless network technology and a public address system featuring two-way intercommunications in each classroom. The fire protection system includes sprinklers, smoke and heat detectors in addition to the security of a locked down facility. A central foyer allows administrators to properly vet visitors before obtaining access to the building.

Concerns for integrity of the structure arose in 2013, prompting an inspection of the building. The findings indicated damage to the masonry block structure, a result of the nature of shifting soils within the region. After extensive planning, the Jones County School Board committed to a final design, secured financing and hired a contractor in June 2017. The contractor projected a completion date to coincide with the start of the 2019 school year but extreme weather conditions caused delays. Lorrie Esmay, JCES principal and superintendent for Jones County Schools, shared the positive comments as everyone enjoys the new facility noting that staff and students quickly settled into the new building.

In the entry hall, an antique bell is proudly displayed along with its history in the Jones county educational system. The first school, built in 1906, started as a humble, three room structure clad in tar paper. As the need arose for a larger school, a two-story, clapboard sided structure replaced the three room school house in 1909. The new JCES sits upon the site of the former 1909 two-story schoolhouse and the bell, used to summon children to school a century ago, is returned to its original location.

The next project consists of razing the old JCES to make way for a new playground. Asbestos abatement crews plan to remove hazardous materials and demolition is slated for the summer of 2020. The school plans to install playground equipment and fencing on the 50 x 200 lot. The brick from the old school will be sold to raise funds for new playground equipment and used to build a new JCES sign. The new JCES provides a wonderful facility for the staff and students of today and tomorrow.

The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SD-DOT) commenced with a paving project on state Highway 83 from Murdo to White River earlier this year. Zandstra Construction, Inc., Rapid City, received the contract spanning from Jones into Mellette county over the course of two years. Zandstra continued with work until the arrival of cooler weather. According to Doug Sherman, SD-DOT area engineer, the project progresses in phases and includes a new bridge and two box culverts on the Jones county side. On the Mellette county side, there are two new bridges spanning the Little White and Big White Rivers and one box culvert. An interim surface, consisting of milled asphalt and gravel, receives a primer coat, oiling the roadway in a petroleum based product, then it receives a blotter finish, consisting of a thickened chip seal finish.

Next spring, construction crews plan to apply a finished surface over the established roadway as the traffic compacts the interim surface over time with varying temperatures, providing a solid and well established base resulting in a better finished surface. The distance of the paving project is from Murdo to White River is approximately 20 miles.

These three projects brought improvements to the infrastructure of the community, offering a facility to educate its children and improving transportation between the two communities. Murdo plans to continue with improving its infrastructure, to actively seek funding for other projects and further commit to developing and investing within the community.

Rescue personnel were busy Friday night responding to a series of accidents from Rennies Mill Road to Portugal Cove Road.

911 calls started coming in around 8:30 p.m. after a pickup truck had smashed into a utility pole. The driver, a man in his 40s, was out of the vehicle and walking around when rescue crews arrived. He was taken to hospital. He will be chargedwith failing to remain at the scene of an accident, police say further charges are anticipated.

The cap of the truck was located not far away. It appears it was ripped off the vehicle when it struck a brick retaining wall. Bricks and stones were thrown into the street.

Farther south a number of parked cars had been struck. The entire route from the parked cars to the trucks final resting place was littered with fluids and vehicle parts.

The driver of a pickup truck left a trail of destruction after crashing multiple times last evening.

The driver of the truck, a man, was taken to hospital with unknown injuries after crashing his vehicle at least three separate times. The first collision, which happened on Rennies Mill Road near Bannerman Park, left a parked car with significant damage and debris strewn across the road. A third vehicle was also, struck, causing only minor damage.

A short while later the same truck left the road and crashed into a retaining wall at the intersection of Portugal Cove Road and Glenridge Crescent , sending stone flying and dislodging the cap from over the trucks bed.

The truck finally came to a stop up the road at the corner of First Avenue and Portugal Cove Road, after it crossed oncoming traffic and collided with a telephone pole. The three separate impacts caused extensive damage to the vehicle.

A resident in the area reported hearing tires squealing prior to a loud bang, which was followed by squealing tires once again.

The driver, a man in his 40s, has been charged with failure to remain at the scene of an accident. Police say further charges are anticipated.

Cantilever walls are commonly built to retain soil or similar earth material to ensure the structural integrity of a project site. There are several important factors that need to be considered when designing a retaining wall using a cantilever block system.

When calculating the pressures exerted at any point of the cantilever wall during the design process, its important to consider factors such as the height of the water table, the nature and type of soil, the subsoil water movements, type of wall being constructed, and the materials used in the construction of the wall, all of which can have an impact on the stability of the structure.

Failure to do so can result in problematic outcomes post-construction including the wall moving into a sloping position or exhibiting a curve on its surface, appearance of a crack, or collapse of the entire wall. Consulting with a professional such as a builder or an engineer on the correct methods of preparation and installation is recommended.

The cantilever block systems from Baines Masonry Blocks deliver the structural integrity required to secure a project while providing an aesthetically pleasing design to suit any style.

Baines Masonry provides a one-stop-shop solution for all retaining wall needs, with a range of supplementary SRW products including geofabrics and other soil containing solutions.
