Roads, Footway and Lighting Programme of Works
Details
The £7 million extra improvements, approved by Full Council on 16 August 2006, will help to reduce the backlog of repairs throughout the City and reduce the strain on future budgets.
Street lighting will benefit from £4 million being spent throughout the City replacing street lighting columns. Off the £4 million there is £340,000 for improvements in Dyce, £240,000 in Bridge of Don, a new lighting installation in Seaton Crescent and two new sections of lighting, to promote road safety, on the A944 between Maidencraig and Kingswells.
£1 million will be used to resurface 13 sections of road throughout the City which are severely pot holed and in need of repair.
£1 million will be dedicated to footways. In the majority of streets this will involve replacing the existing kerbs with new kerbs and creating a new surface. £60,000 will be spent using the slurry sealing process. This process is used where the kerbs are in good order but the surface needs repair.
£300,000 of additional money will be used to improve road safety schemes throughout the city including a new signalised junction on Stoneywood Road at Market Street, Dyce and renewing road markings and signs.
£300,000 will be used to improve pedestrian and disabled amenities around pedestrian crossings such as tactile paving and audible warnings.
Other works included will be improvements to gullies, realigning kerbs to protect verges and repairs to traffic calming measures.
