Improvements on the way for West Pike Street parking in Lawrenceville

The Lawrenceville City Council voted to approve $162,845 for the demolition and replacement of concrete driveways and sidewalks, asphalt paving, patching, and striping of the West Pike Street parking lot.

The original $25,000 amount budgeted for this project was for patching, light overlay and striping. The decision was made to rework the area, improving the lot and increasing the cost. The reworked project includes constructing a new access from West Crogan that allows two-way traffic, paving the lot adjacent to Bullseye, eliminating three of the five access points from West Pike and converting the space to parking.

Additional funds for the project will move from the Honeysuckle Circle Drainage Improvement Project which was delayed. A & S Paving Inc. was the lowest of responsive bidders and will complete the work.
