RE: 58th Street Road Repairs
Dear Allen:
I have enclosed for y our f iles a report received from the Cit En that the
restorations to 58th Street in con with the installation of the tunnel under same
have not resulted in acceptable results. Basicall there is a si and pronounced
`bump' that is problematic both to the g eneral drivin public and potentiall to plowin
operations.
loo action is needed at this time, as we will take a wait and see approach throu the
upcomin winter season to see how it ma chan come next sprin Should corrections
be needed at that time as determined b the Cit En the Cit will re these be
made b y our contractor.
See attached letter
Please let me O fow if y o

Re. Boutwell's Landing Tunnel under 58 Street North
City of Oak Park Heights
Bonestroo File No. 55- 08000 -1
Dear Eric.
416 Bonestroo
Ir
On September 22, 2008, Paragon Company (a subcontractor to A & P Construction) completed
the bituminous patching for the Boutwell's Landing Tunnel on 58 Street North. The base course,
binder course, and wear course were paved in separate lifts for the two patch areas. Following
the completion of the paving, Tone Ozzello and I completed an inspection of the patch work. The
ride - ability of the roadway, along with several poorly constructed joint areas is unacceptable.
Bonestroo recommends reevaluating the patch work in the spring, following a freeze -thaw cycle,
to determine if, and what kind of surface and joint correction is needed
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
BONESTROO
