ecological principles to do sustainable work that will do no damage to the duff or forest floor.”

Much of Pleasant Hill’s work is creating access paths through the forest to the lake — known to Pleasant Hill as “erosion control paths” or “access erosion control paths.” In these areas, Pleasant Hill lays down an erosion control mulch, which consists of stump grindings and log flume with a bit of grit in it.

These paths are created in tight areas that often contain extreme slopes. This requires a machine with extreme traction.

“Until we had the Avant, we had given up trying to do it using anything other than manpower and a wheelbarrow, which was not particularly cost-effective and was back breaking on our employees,” Shiers said. “My guys that owned [fitness An example of the boutique, hardscape and landscape work done by Pleasant Hill Property Services LLC. trackers] said that they were doing Shiers has two things that most impress the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest model 760i with a cab and air conditioning, Working With Northland JCB a smaller Avant 635, which does not have a him about the Avant loaders: ease of use and each day.

Construction Project Gets Going After 25 Years of Planning ROUNDABOUTS from page 1

A 2013 scoping study of the White River Junctions neighborhood found that the Sykes Mountain Avenue intersection with Route 5, where the roundabouts are being constructed, saw 28 crashes, which resulted in three injuries, between 2006 and 2010. The intersection sits just a few hundred feet from the exit ramp that carries traffic from Interstates 91 and 89.

Steve Ireland, a civil engineer of McFarland Johnson, said, “The design intent is to improve safety by reducing the number of potential conflict points between vehicles.

A typical signalized intersection has 32 points of conflict where a roundabout has eight points of conflict.”

Hartford’s dual roundabouts will slow traffic while reducing dangerous vehicle interactions that can occur as cars react to changing traffic lights and they will allow pedestrians to cross more safely, Ireland said.

Hartford Roundabouts and Sidewalk is a collaborative project between the town of Hartford and VTrans that includes the installation of a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of U.S. Route 5 and Sykes Mountain construction of two roundabouts in Hartford, Vt., that will create safer driving and sidewalk access for pedestrians Ave. and a second single-lane roundabout at The began on June 29 and will progress in seven phases that will be completed in October 2021. the junction of Sykes Mountain Avenue and Ralph Lehman Drive.

The project also includes the installation of a half-mile of along with John Deere 75, Komatsu PC78, Hitachi 200 and 5-ft.-wide sidewalk along the south side of Sykes Mountain Doosan 300 excavators, St. Pierre said.

“The materials used to build the roundabouts are used on Avenue from the U.S. Post Office to Butternut Road as well as pavement markings, signing and drainage. A “green belt” most any roadway project, including sand, gravel, stone, will separate the sidewalk and road, with its shoulder asphalt and concrete,” Ireland said.

South Coast Rail believes the project also will reconnect this region of Massachusetts to more job opportunities …

Signs that Massachusetts’ South Coast Rail project continues was evident on New Bedford’s Church Street as the demolition of the old Julius Koch industrial site nears completion.

Once home to the nation’s largest supplier of cord and invisible tape for custom window coverings, the building was torn down and its four-acre parcel will become the site of the new Church Street train station, according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT).

The Phase 1 station and main line construction is part of the $8 billion project that will extend commuter rail lines from Boston to New Bedford and Fall River.

The new station will be called the North New Bedford station, according to plans from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).

The station was originally set to be built near the old Flagship Theater property on King’s Highway but was derailed and relocated to Church Street last year. Existing development along Church Street is industrial on the side with the railroad tracks and residential on the other.

According to an Aug. 3 construction update from the MBTA, seven other locations in New Bedford, Fall River, Taunton, Freetown, Berkley and Middleboro have structures set to be demolished for the South Coast Rail extension.

Two more buildings in Fall River and in Berkley are anticipated for demolition.

The South Coast Rail project is designed to restore commuter rail service between Boston and southeastern Massachusetts.

Taunton, Fall River and New Bedford are the only major cities within 50 mi. of Boston that do not currently have commuter rail access to the state’s capital city.

The first phase of the commuter rail project will provide a one-seat ride by: • Extending the existing Middleborough Secondary (currently a freight line) to provide service to Taunton, New Bedford, and

The Phase 1 station and main line construction is part of the $8 billion project that will extend commuter rail lines from Boston to New Bedford and Fall River.

Fall River. The Middleborough Secondary connects to Cotley Junction in East Taunton • From Cotley Junction, Phase 1 trains will join the New Bedford Main Line and continue to New Bedford, or they will branch off on the Fall River Secondary to Fall River (this area is known as the Southern Triangle) • The service also will operate three morning peak trains and three evening peak trains to both New Bedford and Fall River • Run up to six morning and six evening peak trains to Taunton and Middleborough because all the trains will pass through these communities.

The benefits of Phase 1 are that the work: • Reconstructs 12.1 mi. of the Fall River Secondary, • Reconstructs 24.1 mi. of the Middleborough Secondary and the New Bedford Main Line, and • Improves freight service to the region and provides redundancy for commuter rail riders once the Full Build is operating.

South Coast Rail believes the project also will reconnect this region of Massachusetts to more job opportunities and generate greater economic development.

Phase 1 is expected to be completed in late 2023, according to the MBTA. 
