Redevelopment of Toomers Corner (City of Auburn)

[IronMan70 3,277]

They used a sweeper today on the center and crosswalks. Then the workers started using power scrubber, a pressure washer and also a fire hose connected direct to the fire hydrant to try to get the dirt off. A fire truck just pulled up and the fire department is also hosing it down with their power nozzle trying to help clean it.

Any update on the new, new tree? It's definitely not looking good. The rest of the corner looks spectacular. I can't wait to see it in person.

That's almost an understatement....

It's time to move the web cam back to the roof of Toomer's Drugs

Need to wait 7 days for the asphalt to cure before placing pavement striping

ALDOT specs state that thermoplastic striping (permanent) may not be applied until the asphalt has cured for a period of 14 days (30 for concrete). Looking back real quick, I noticed they were still installing asphalt on Aug. 5th. Paint striping (with glass beads for retroreflectivity) is used as temporary striping to open to traffic until the cure time has elapsed. Obviously, the Engineer can waive the cure time if they so desire, and I cannot tell from the pictures if it's thermo or paint. Either way, yes they need to clean it thoroughly prior to application.

Who didn't know that....

Could be temp striping with perm later.

lol, actually I didn't until I looked it up. 7 days cure time didn't sound right to me, but then again where I'm at now a cure time for the pavement isn't required prior to application.

and.......they're striping the lanes. We also have football players down there in uniform getting pictures taken.

I think between talks of the supports of the base of the Boomtron and the discussion of asphalt curing times with regard to painting traffic lines, this may be the most painful off-season yet.

Do you remember what we were talking about last summer ? I'll take discussions on Aubietron and Toomer's corner any day of the week over that stuff.

[The Plainsman 948]

Next summer I hope we are talking about the north endzone.

[WarEagle84 0]

Next summer I hope we are talking about the north endzone. whether we can repeat as national champions.

FTFY

Why the neon? Unless it's orange and blue I don't get it

[PowerOfDixieland 3,226]

Oh no......

Seriously?

Effing yellow crew did this.

[AuburnNP 0]

Oh no......

Seriously?

Effing yellow crew did this. :angry:/>

Lol.... Orange crew #1 and #2 doesn't install neon lights. Not our fault. I agree with yall, if placing neon lights, I like the idea of only orange and blue lights.

[tgr4lfe 220]

Keep in mind they do all kinds of events downtown, Christmas, Halloween trick or treating at the shops, thanksgiving, July 4th, etc., so this was done thinking of all the other stuff too.

[wde21 344]

Those lights are awful. Looks like Las Vegas not the Loveliest Village.

[AUBwins 10,075]

Are the lights able to change colors? I agree in the orange and blue during Auburn gamedays and events, but i am also fine with using colorful lights when not directly dealing with an Auburn University event.
