RE: Assembly Point Road-Stormwater Alternatives
Dear Supervisor Strough:
We understand that the Town is interested in exploring options to improve a portion of
Assembly Point Road, between Sunset Lane and Knox Road, to address stormwater
management discharging to the lake, as well as bicycle/pedestrian safety. This section of
the roadway is directly adjacent.to Lake George and in close proximity to the lake's typical
elevation.
The Town's goal is to better understand possible measures to intercept, treat or redirect
stormwater that may be emanating from the roadway. Early options discuss by the Town
include altering the roadway to increase the pitch/cant of the road away from the lake, use
of permeable pavements and/or providing some form of in road intercept and infiltration
measures. A Larger scale intervention could include relocating (or back lotting)the roadway
to the central area portion of Assembly Point.
Based on this understanding we propose a desktop analysis of various measures as
described. We would also explore other/alternate measures that may present themselves
during our evaluation such as creating a one-way loop to allow a reduced road width,
We would prepare base mapping of the study area from publicly available data sources
including ortho imagery, lidar, tax parcels, environmentaVnatural resources, and other
relevant data. We would develop concept figures depicting each alternative and develop
order of magnitude costs for each option.
Our work would be summarized in a report describing each alternative,the potential benefits,
the pros and cons as well as the order of magnitude costs. We would meet with you to review
the evaluation and discuss additional efforts should you choose to purse any of the options.
We propose to provide these services on a lump sum basis.Our fee to perform this work for
a fee of$10,000. We wil initiate this work on your authorization. Please contact me with any
questions.
Respectfully submitted,
LaBelle Associates
