Tree clearing along Kinney Avenue and at the detention basin site has been completed as of yesterday (Thursday). Integrity Tree Services may come back prior to beginning road reconstruction (scheduled for April 29) to finish stump grinding.
As soon as next week, Kent Power is scheduled to begin replacing the existing gas main on Kinney Avenue with a new 8-inch diameter gas main along the west side of the roadway. New gas services will be installed to all affected properties. DTE will be reaching out to residents to schedule the transfer from their old gas service to the new one. Single lane closures along Kinney may be utilized by Kent Power, however two-way traffic will be maintained at all times. The gas main replacement is anticipated to be completed by the end of April.
Below are some photos of Kinney Avenue prior to construction. We can’t wait to see how the neighborhood improves this fall!
