reFRESH Estero Boulevard Next Segment Awaits Permits 

reFRESH Estero Boulevard Projects continue, with various work on-going in all three segments, and major Segment 2 construction to soon begin. Segment 1 “In Segment 1, from the Matanzas Pass Bridge to the Red Coconut RV Park, we are down to punch list items and brick paver replacement,” said Kaye Molnar, spokesperson for the projects from Cella Molnar & Associates. “Redoing the center lane pavers is frustrating for the crews, community and management team. We are working with the manufacturer to solve the problems that make them settle or crack. Fortunately, the manufacturer pays for the replacements, with the work built into the contract, so there is not a great deal of extra cost to taxpayers, with the manufacturer and engineers and construction team all working on solutions. As we’ve said since the beginning, reFRESH Estero Boulevard is a complicated project, and we concentrate on the positives, like the drainage that works perfectly.”

Other than the pavers, Segment 1 is down to completing punch list items, with Lee County and Town officials addressing things like sidewalks and underground conduits. “This is typical at the end of any construction project,” Kaye explains, “be it roadwork or a new house or anything like that.” FULL STORY
