Kenneth Avenue Area Utility Relay Project – Wk of 10/03/22
Click here for proposed work locations and possible impacts to residents for the week of October 3rd.
WHITNEY STREET, 6TH STREET, 7TH STREET, & 8TH STREET AREAS:
PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION
There will be no paving work on site this week. Paving for 6th and Whitney are tentatively scheduled for the week of October 24th. This work may move up depending on contractor availability.
SEWER CONSTRUCTION
The Contractor on site will be finishing the Sanitary Sewer Main Relay on Whitney Street. They will have about half a block to go on Monday. This work should only take a day. Once they finish that, they will work on Public Sewer and Water service relays to individual houses for the remainder of the week. After they finish that, the bulk of sewer work on this project will be complete. We still have not received a schedule from the Contractor performing private lateral work. When we get a schedule for that work, we will post it to our website.
DRIVEWAYS/PARKING
Access to your driveway may be restricted when construction is happening on your block. The contractor performing the work uses large machines, dump trucks, and needs ample space to store the items needed for the work being performed. Please find an alternate parking space during the day if you need to come and go. You may park on side streets or areas where work is not actively happening (see above work locations map showing where NOT to park on streets). Driveways will be opened and accessible at the end of each day as construction is ending. You may park overnight in your driveway. Construction normally begins by 7:00am each day, so please move your vehicles accordingly.
- If you need special accommodations for parking, please reach out as we can arrange for different parking options if we know about them. This includes anyone with disabilities, recent surgeries, expecting mothers, and mothers with newborns that have appointments. Unfortunately, there is not a one size fits all for parking and the fewer cars that the contractor has to work around, the faster they can get the work done and finish the neighborhood.
SAFETY
While driving through the construction site, be sure to travel slowly and keep an eye out for equipment. This not only cuts down on the dust, but also keeps the construction workers safe. Operators try their best to see traffic, but their view can be obstructed at times. It is always best to try and gain eye contact with equipment operators prior to driving by.
*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WORK AND SCHEDULE CAN CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER OR UNFORSEEN CONSTRUCTION DELAYS. THESE UPDATES ARE TO AID THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IN A TIMELY MANNER*
Utility and street construction is not easy. There will be dirt, mud, dust, and construction equipment everywhere. Construction activity will be noisy and getting to your residence will be difficult at times. We ask for your patience and understanding as we make the necessary improvements to your street and utilities. Do not hesitate to contact the City with questions or concerns, we can’t help if we don’t know. Contact Taylor Conger, Project Engineer, at 920.766.6305 or [email protected] with any questions.
