Fire (Station) in the Hole

Posts Tagged ‘Sidewalk’

According to Rick Pinskey, Arlington Co. Proj. Manager for FS3, the news we’ve waited for has come: today Whiting-Turner received “Notice to Proceed,” with construction. It has until April 14, 2011 to complete the fire station (& I assume pocket park on 21st Rd. and sidewalk on the north side of Lee from Quincy to the Koons Garage). Whiting-Turner and  county officials will meet on Wednesday to review procedures, schedules, and so forth and then the trucks to roll in. Also later this week the Koons Garage will be designated as “acceptable.”

Back to last week… the 21st Rd and Lee Hwy sidewalk construction was completed on Friday. I didn’t get a change to take pics of the garage over the weekend due to the rain but will as soon as the sun returns. The brick facade work is complete and some parts of the exterior walls were either primed or painted with white paint — not sure which right now.  Also concrete parking stops, a.k.a., front spoiler destroyers, were installed.

Curb, gutter, sidewalk installation on the north portion of 21st Rd. started last week and the first section of sidewalk went in yesterday.  Below is a quick photo sequence of the work so far. Also, FYI, I uploaded the interior plans to the “Architectural Drawings” page.
