Palmdale to begin Avenue M road paving

by The AV Times Staff • April 10, 2015

The project is part of the sewer project that was recently completed to bring lines to the 600-acre parcel owned by the city where the Palmdale Power Plant and a future business park will be constructed.

PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale will begin a road paving project on Avenue M, starting Monday, April 13 and ending Friday, April 17.

The road will be paved on the south side of Avenue M, from 4th Street East to what would be 26th Street East, and on the north side of Avenue M, from 10th Street East to 26th Street East.

The project is part of the sewer project that was recently completed to bring lines to the 600-acre parcel owned by the city where the Palmdale Power Plant and a future business park will be constructed.

“Since our work crews were there doing the resurfacing work on the areas that were trenched for the sewer lines, it made good logistical and fiscal sense to include the immediate areas of the project area in the resurfacing,” said Director of Public Works Mike Mischel.

Toro Enterprises, Inc. is the contractor for the $742,965 project.

For more information on this project, call public works at 661-267-5353, Monday through Thursday, from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

    Does Toro have a monopoly on this industry or something? You are telling me we have to continue bringing companies from other cities to handle road work; there isn’t a company in the Antelope Valley able to handle this kind of paving?

    Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill, etc. etc. etc. All should be striving to get the money to local contractors when able.

      Local contractors know better than to work for Lancaster. Lancaster strives to get money to the contractor when forced, eventually. If you can’t do the work today on your own dime knowing that you will be slow paid for at least half a year don’t bid.

      Disclaimer: I’ve been retired for a few years and wasn’t in the contracting business for a few before that, so this may not be current.

    The whole AV needs all the roads resurfaced. Seriously. Put all the welfare collectors to work!

      I have seen parts of the AV where they rather post a sign that cost $100 that says rough road ahead. This town is cheap as it gets.

    I agree!! Ave M should be repaved from Sierra Hwy to 50th St East. It doesn’t make since to do the partial distances.

      Ave M sucks most from Siera going westbound. That’s where people live. Fix that before fixing it eastbound. Nobody lives there.

    Really? only up to about 26th St East, not even 30th East WoW! Ave M should be repaved all the way from Sierra Hwy, down to 50th St East. Or may maybe just spend the 1 million but beginning at Sierra Hwy with better traffic merging lanes to turn left.

    Lancaster need to go all the way to 70th. West. Horrible going thru Quartz Hill. What do they pave……Ave. ‘L’ 60th to 90th where no traffic goes.

    • QHR says

      April 10, 2015 at 8:34 pm

      Yes, it needs to go all the way to 70th West! It is especially very bad around 60th West!

    Lancaster should step up and take care of the other end from Sierra Hwy to 20th West on both sides of the street now too.

    Finally!!! That road is horrible now, especially at night because people cant see which lane to be in.

    • That and.. says

      April 13, 2015 at 10:32 am

      Its not just that they can not see what lane to be in but they are also avoiding that crappy patch job so they drift from one side to the next to avoid it.
