Since Mark Hanson prepared the original Comprehensive Street

• Area A was reconstructed in 1995, and both Dave Hanson and Mark
Hanson were there to support that project.

• Improvements such as full pavement reclamation, subgrade
corrections, installation of concrete curb and gutter, and storm
sewer were recommended. Spot repairs of sanitary sewer and

TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP

At Bonestroo, improving our projects and service is the driving

specialists recently demonstrated the capabilities of Infraseek, an
innovative asset management tool. Whether integrating CAD and

project time and cost for our clients, while maintaining a high level
of quality.
