IMPROVEMENTS & PROCESS

This project has been divided into three phases to facilitate the completion of the project in a timely manner and with as little disruption to residents and properties as possible:

• Phase I: Sanitary and Storm Line construction includes removal of sections of the roadway, some driveway approaches, roadway parking, curb, and sidewalks. During this phase, the site engineer and the City will provide notification to the impacted home, apartment or business.  Please relocate your cars to available parking areas or adjacent side streets by 7:00 AM. Access can resume when the barricades are removed from your driveway or roadway.

The project will require some water shutdowns. The City will be coordinating scheduled water shutoffs with impacted customers as part of this project. This will include a door notification of the expected shut down time and dates. The City will make every effort to schedule all water main shutdowns.

• Phase III: Concrete and Asphalt replacement work includes replacing any curb, sidewalks, aprons or roadways damaged as part of the project.  Please note if you have an existing concrete apron, curb and gutter in front of your driveway, and/or sidewalk across your driveway that is being removed and replaced you will not have driveway access for 5 days (from the date that the concrete is poured).  Please relocate your cars to available parking areas on your street or adjacent side streets by 7:00 AM.  Residents will be notified prior to loss of driveway access.  Access can resume when the barricades are removed from your driveway.

• Phase III:  The third phase will involve parkway restoration.  All areas disturbed by construction will be restored. A recommended seed maintenance and watering schedule will be available on the project website.

Due to the scope, complexity, and nature of this work, as well as the unpredictability of weather, some delays and disruptions may occur.  There may be times when no work is occurring on your street. We ask for your understanding during these times; work is being coordinated and anticipated to be finished by the completion date of September 9^th.  All work is weather dependent.

PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY:

Please note that all work will be performed within the City right-of-way.  If you have any type of existing features within the City right-of-way area (i.e. sprinkler system, landscape features, special decorative rocks, brick driveways, electronic “invisible” dog fence, etc.), precautions should be taken by you, the homeowner, to remove or store these items right away to assure that they are not damaged. The City will not repair or replace private appurtenances left within the City right-of-way.

MAIL & GARBAGE SERVICE:

Mail and Garbage service will not be interrupted during construction.  Please leave your garbage at the end of your driveway on your normally scheduled pick up day by 6 am as pick may occur earlier than normal to avoid the construction work.
