SECOND PHASE OF PADRE BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO BEGIN

Halff Associates will commence with the field survey phase of the Padre Boulevard Median & Improvement Project the week of October 11, 2004.  This phase will include field control work and aerial photography for the development of existing conditions and base map preparation for this much needed project. Halff survey crews will be out along and adjacent to Padre Boulevard to place control markers for the panel points.  These panel points are utilized by the aerial photography pilot to determine the flight pattern and existing topography.

The public should anticipate seeing crews placing panel marker points which are made of 6-foot by 6-inchs strips of white heavy plastic.  In a very few cases painting of the panels with white washable paint will be required.  These panel points will be large X’S placed in the roadways, and the public’s assistance is being asked to help maintain these panels.  The flight should occur within a few days after the panels have been set, and the panels will be picked up promptly after the flight.  Halff Associates anticipates a total of 13 panels to be place to complete the aerial photography.

In addition, Halff will be sending out employees to commence developing an inventory of parking along Padre Boulevard within the project limits of Haas Street & Swordfish Streets.  This phase, along with preparation of base maps, should be completed with the next 10 weeks, weather permitting.
