The Scoop on Bird Hill Repaving

As I wrote in our previous post, a couple streets on Bird Hill are due for some repaving soon, and now we’ve received the full plan of attack from the city. Public Works Director Roscoe Slade tells us that Blue Heron Blvd. will be paved on Tuesday, July 28, and Chukar Drive will be paved the following day, July 29. In both cases, work is estimated to last from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

If you live on either street, or if you live on any of the cul-de-sacs that branch off those two roads, look for an informational door hanger tomorrow – July 22 with all the details of next week’s roadwork. If your car is parked on either road the day before work begins, you’ll get another notice that you need to move your car. Also look for “No Parking” signs along both roads starting this Friday — 72 hours before the work is due to begin.

What Do You Need To Do?

Here’s what you need to know, word-for-word from Roscoe Slade at the city offices:

Blue Heron Blvd.

On Tuesday, July 28th between 8am and 4pm, Blue Heron Blvd will be closed between Bombing Range Road and Paradise Way to all traffic except for pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks. The road closure will be strictly enforced for the residents’ safety and for the safety of the construction workers. Residents will need to either leave for work before 8am or park their car on another residential street (and not a cul-de-sac off of Blue Heron). The roadway is estimated to be fully open by 4pm but, unexpected delays may delay the opening of portions of Blue Heron. This is a temporary, but necessary inconvenience to complete the work; resident’s patience is appreciated. Emergency Services, police and fire, have been notified of the road closure. Any vehicles, trailers, etc. parked along Blue Heron Blvd on Tuesday, July 28th at 8am will be towed to the West Richland Police Department. Due to the closure, the post office will also not be able to pickup or deliver mail on this day. Any questions or special requests should be directed to Heath Mellotte, City Engineer, at 967-5434.

Chukar Drive

On Wednesday, July 29th between 8am and 4pm, Chukar Drive will be closed between Bombing Range Road and Blue Heron Blvd to all traffic except for pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks. The road closure will be strictly enforced for the residents’ safety and for the safety of the construction workers. Residents will need to either leave for work before 8am or park their car on another residential street (and not a cul-de-sac off of Chukar). The roadway is estimated to be fully open by 4pm but, unexpected delays may delay the opening of portions of Chukar. This is a temporary, but necessary inconvenience to complete the work; resident’s patience is appreciated. Emergency Services, police and fire, have been notified of the road closure. Any vehicles, trailers, etc. parked along Chukar on Wednesday, July 29th at 8am will be towed to the West Richland Police Department.
