Main Street widening at Petrovich site delayed

This is the most recent benefit for Paul Petrovich and his properties – compliments of the City of Woodland. The Main Street widening project will widen the north side of Main from East to Sixth Streets (along Petrovich's defunct Rite Aid project that should have covered most of the costs). These improvements consist of widening westbound Main Street to two lanes as well as sidewalk, curb, gutter and ADA ramp work. Price of street widening component: $305,281. Price of storm drain improvement: $392,000. Total: $697,281 (minus $69,000 to be reimbursed by the Woodland Courthouse project for street widening). Last year the city paid Petrovich $2.5 million for the I-5 on ramp land. And just last Tuesday city council met in closed session to discuss price and terms for two Petrovich properties and another property purchase that would benefit Petrovich's Gateway II annexation application.


From the Woodland Record:

The construction project has experienced several delays since early July due to several unforeseen conflicts. The new storm line in the intersection of Main and East Streets conflicts with an existing 12kv buried PG&E power line, and on Main Street near Sixth Street, the contractor discovered two abandoned underground storage tanks (USTs). Most recently, near Sixth Street, damage to the PGE 12kv high voltage conduit was discovered by the contractor.

The abandoned USTs have been fully remediated.
