Alley Work:

Final grading on the West alley should be completed late Friday or early Saturday. The goal is that we start pouring on Monday with the goal of the concrete being completed on Tuesday or Wednesday. From that point we'll have a 4-5 day cure time prior to allowing ANY vehicles other than All Americans on it.
The East alley is being staked in preparation for final grading to be started on Friday or Monday. The goal for the East alley would be that they could pour it mid to late next week.

Sample Banner Sign: I'll be bringing down a full scale mock up of the proposed "welcome to downtown Kalona banner signs to the Chamber Lunch on Monday for everyone to see. As well I hope to have the mock up of the bronze recognition plaques that will go with the quilt blocks.

4th Street: On Thursday Maxwell construction completed the installation of the 24" pipe South to B Avenue. Friday they will pour the floor of the new drop box with the remainder of the walls to be poured on Monday.

B Avenue: With the installation of the storm sewer in both the alleys and 4th street coming to an end we will be looking at bringing in the same Maxwell crew to tie into the B avenue storm sewer again at the corner of the General Store and complete it East to the Chamber building. This is ahead of the proposed time frame so the hope is that we can regain some of the "rain" days back where all we could do is lay storm sewer pipe.

A Place: Final grading is being completed early next week when All American is back into town. As well FSB had some work done to the West side of their entrance and it will be back filled at the same time.

Community Center: This week we've been able to get the bulk of the irrigation pulled and in place. The goal for the remainder of this week is to get the distribution box installed on the West side of the community center. Once this is in place we can complete the final pouring of the sidewalk. As well the City will be looking to start our portion of the landscaping around the community center. The plant materials and look will fall in line with what the architects / engineers are using around town as well.

Gateway Entrances / Kalona Signs: The corners of B and Hwy 1 as well as Hwy 22 & 5th have all been saw cut in anticipation of removal in the upcoming weeks. Again the two gateway entrances will incorporate all of the downtown elements (stamped / colored concrete, plant materials, walk ways). The prefabricated signage for the 4 entrance signs have been completed and we are in the process of staking the 4 "welcome" locations. The goal is that we can start working these into the schedule.
