Re: Meridian Ct. Reconstruction Project
Meeting Date: September 15, 2024
BACKGROUND: Meridian Ct. was originally constructed in 2002 as part of Lee's Meridian
Business Park as an access leg for commercial properties off of S Merdian Rd. At the time,
Meridian Ct. had a cul-de-sac at its western termination to facilitate turnarounds on the dead-end
road. In 2003, Meridian Ct was extended southwesterly from the cul-de-sac as part of the Scott
Minor Subdivision with plans for continued future expansion. The cul-de-sac was not removed.
In 2021, Meridian Ct was extended a second time to accommodate access to 72 units as part of
The Meridian Apartments with additional units having been built since.
Figure 1 - Meridian Ct Existing Conditions
The cul-de-sac with a street extension has been a challenge to maintain for plowing operations as
well as normal street maintenance. Additionally, the base material thickness and compaction
were inadequate in the original construction as many sections of curb and asphalt surface have
settled overtime. This settling of the asphalt surface has resulted in poor drainage conveyance
and collection; leading to quickened surface deterioration. This deterioration may be seen in the
existing potholes, cracking, and breakup along the proposed sections of roadway reconstruction.

The proposed plan will remove the cul-de-sac, correct the current deficiencies, and reconstruct
the street to a typical street section.
Figure 2 - Proposed Project Overview
The project includes furnishing labor, materials and equipment required to install approximately
69 linear feet of 8-inch PVC stormwater main and 2 stormwater catch basins. Also included in the
project are approximately 1,080 LF of curbing, 230 SY concrete flatwork, concrete collars, and
landscape restoration.
Paving will be completed by city crews.
