Lorain has two separately described gas-main projects that started in the same July 2026 window. The West 35th Street Phase 1 and Kentucky Avenue records should not be merged: they cover different routes, and the City page and project mailers do not publish identical measurements or durations.
An address-specific notice remains the best record of whether a property is included. The comparison below explains what the public files establish—and where they disagree.
The two project cards
The live City project page published these summaries when accessed August 11, 2026:
| Field | West 35th Street Phase 1 | Kentucky Avenue |
|---|---|---|
| Start statement | Week of July 13, 2026 | Mid-July 2026 |
| City-page duration | Approximately two months | Approximately two months |
| City-page main | About 9,600 feet | About 6,000 feet |
| City-page properties | Roughly 160 | Roughly 110 |
| Listed streets | West 33rd, 34th and 35th; Ashland; East Skyline; Birch; Oberlin; Meister | Kentucky; Alexander; Louisiana; Cleveland; D; E; F |
The street list is a project description, not proof that every property on every named street receives the same work.
Five differences the source files leave visible
The City-hosted West 35th mailer agrees on about 9,600 feet and 160 properties, but describes a mid-July start and a three-to-four-month project. Its limit description is not identical to the live page’s street list.
The Kentucky mailer says about 5,900 feet, 107 properties, and three to four months, compared with the live page’s roughly 6,000 feet, 110 properties, and approximately two months.
| Reconciliation field | City page | Project mailer | Editorial treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| West 35th duration | About two months | Three to four months | Preserve both estimates |
| West 35th limits | Broader named-street list | Differently framed project limits | Do not synthesize a new route |
| Kentucky footage | About 6,000 feet | About 5,900 feet | Keep both rounded figures |
| Kentucky properties | Roughly 110 | 107 | Keep both counts |
| Kentucky duration | About two months | Three to four months | Preserve both estimates |
The 100-foot and three-property differences are reconciliation notes, not evidence that either record is inaccurate. The documents use approximate project language, and neither supplies an as-built closeout count.
Keep the service appointment record separate from main work
The project sources describe stages that can occur at different times:
- Main installation and public utility markings.
- A property-specific service-line notice or appointment.
- Adult access when the appointment requires entry.
- A temporary service interruption, generally described in the records as two to four hours.
- Appliance relighting and a service check.
- Possible movement of an indoor meter to an outside location.
- Temporary surface restoration.
- Later permanent restoration.
None of those general steps promises an appointment time, shutoff duration, meter decision, or restoration date for one property. Preserve the notice, contact identity, scheduled window, pre-work conditions, service-restoration confirmation, and any separate restoration communication.
For a suspected gas emergency, use the utility’s emergency channel rather than a project schedule or this article.
A practical address file
Before an appointment, retain:
- the notice naming West 35th Phase 1 or Kentucky;
- the address and project contact shown on that notice;
- dated photos of pavement, lawn, landscaping, and meter location;
- the appointment date, access requirements, and authorized contact;
- any appliance or meter instructions supplied for that property; and
- the temporary and permanent restoration records as separate events.
Ask which source has the latest address-level status when the City summary and mailer differ. An elapsed two- or four-month estimate alone does not prove completion.
Source and methodology
Local Service Ledger compared the live City page with two utility project mailers hosted in the City’s Document Center on August 11, 2026. We normalized the records across start, duration, footage, property count, route, service access, and restoration, then retained every material mismatch. We did not inspect the work, verify an address, interview residents, or determine current crew or road conditions.
