Talking with their foreman, he anticipates that will be the work over the next week or so. They will be starting removals at Shelby and working east. They will start the storm structure installation in the west block where the sinkhole is located, and then work east as well.

Maynard Drive Improvement Project Update - 8.18
Construction barriers were delivered earlier last week and storm structures should be delivered within days. Construction is supposed to start this week. Trash pickup is scheduled to continue throughout the construction period.
Remember: It's going to be inconvenient. Then it's going to get bad. But then it's going to be great. Thank you for your patience!

Town receives $777,885 in city and state grants to improve street
We are very excited to announce that last week the Town of Homecroft was awarded a Community Crossings Matching Grant of $635,476 from the State of Indiana to go along with a grant of $143,408 from the City of Indianapolis for street improvements.
Background
In the summer of 2018 a survey was done on all the streets in Homecroft to determine the top repair needs. The information was compiled into a five-year plan that will be reevaluated annually.
Engineers dug core samples and it was determined that Maynard Drive between Shelby Street and Madison Avenue was in the worst shape. Core samples revealed the block running from Madison and Dresden had a pavement depth of 12 inches and the block between Orinoco and Shelby had six inches of pavement. Between Orinoco and Dresden the pavement was only three inches over gravel. As a result, a full-depth reconstruction and base repair is planned for the middle block of Maynard while the two outer sections will receive mill and overlay throughout along with five sections requiring full-depth work. The project will include some curb replacement and curb ramps will be installed where needed.
The total cost for the project is estimated to be $921,294 of which Homecroft will pay $143,408.
Survey work is expected to begin immediately and then the engineers will develop full drawings. Once those are completed the project will be put out to bid. The hope is the project will be completed before school starts, however it is dependent upon when Homecroft receives the funding from the city and state.
Residents will be kept up to date by newsletters and flyers as details become available.
