Limits will be from the intersection of Kent Road to the end of Phase VI which is roughly 400 feet west of Brown Road for a total project length of approximately 1,000 feet. This will complete the stretch of Ford Road from Kent to Irene Boulevard, leaving the section between Irene and Route 9 for future phases. Funding for the current section will be supplemented by Capital Funds due to the rapid deterioration of the existing pavement. Project received Monmouth County Engineering approval in August and the project funding was actually increased by the County from $126,658 to $153,233 in September. Final release from HUD has been delayed due to the Federal Government shutdown. Unknown when funding will be released at this time. 8. Blake Drive Drainage Improvements The low points on Blake Drive and Wilson Drive along with the intersections of Wilson & Clark and Sunset & Arlyn Drive all flood during moderate and heavy rainstorms. The existing drainage system needs to be supplemented and/or replaced in certain sections to handle the volume of stormwater required. UPDATE 10/28/2013: Contract for preliminary and final design was awarded on 9/10/2013. Survey and base mapping currently underway. 9. Improvements to Kent Road Curve The pavement through the curve along Kent Road just north of Brown Road has deteriorated over the years and will require full reconstruction. The existing cross slope of the road will be replaced with a superelevated curve to meet DOT design standards. The preliminary scope includes slight curve realignment, superelevation, drainage installation, partial curb work and full pavement reconstruction. UPDATE 10/28/2013: Contract for preliminary and final design was awarded on 8/20/2013. Survey and base mapping is complete and preliminary geometry is currently being designed.

5 Page 5 of Improvements to Larrabee Boulevard This neighborhood in the southern section of town includes Larrabee, Shetland, Station and Waverly. All of the roads will require full reconstruction including drainage installation. Lack of drainage in the area presents a coordination problem as the natural flow of water leads to County Route 547. There is no drainage system on 547 and there are isolated low points so just repaving would exacerbate the ponding. The County has been contacted to start review of 547 for possible drainage system installation. UPDATE 10/28/2013: Contract for preliminary design was awarded on 8/20/2013. Survey and base mapping is nearly complete and preliminary geometry has been started Capital Program #2 Mill and Overlay This program is currently under design and plans are 80% complete utilizing in-house staff. The project will utilize traditional mill and overlay processes to resurface the roadways. The initial list of roads has changed after field work revealed that many of the roads were not built to today s standards during initial construction decades ago. This thin pavement section will now require full pavement reconstruction rather than mill and overlay. Plans are being revised and some roads are being switched to a full reconstruction program instead. Once the plans are finalized, the list of roads will be published Capital Program #3 Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) This program is currently under design and plans are 25% complete utilizing in-house staff. The project will continue Howell Township s utilization of alternative construction technologies to increase the amount of lane-miles that can be reconstructed as evident by previous programs. Many roads that were initially identified for mill and overlay were added to this program after field work determined that reconstruction was required. Once the plans are finalized, the list of roads will be published. B. MONMOUTH COUNTY LEAD PROJECTS 1. County Route 524 (Adelphia Road) and Ketchum Road The County will be realigning this intersection to remove the sharp curve and create a smooth transition into and out of the intersection near Our House Restaurant. GPI is currently working on the design plans for the County. The Township notified the County of a flooding problem that exists on the westbound lane in front of house #448. The County stated that they would review the situation and incorporate any additional drainage installation that may be necessary.
