Project 2-23 Update – Week of 08/28

Click here for proposed work locations and possible residence impacts for the week of August 28th.

Park Street, Klein Street, 4^th Street, & 5^th Street Areas:

CONSTRUCTION :

• Scott Lamers will NOT be on site next week.
• Carl Bowers will continue to have 2 crews on site next week. One crew will be finishing some Sanitary Sewer work on W. 4^th Street near the intersection of Hendricks Avenue. Once they complete this work, they will be moving to Main Avenue to work on Sanitary Sewer there. They will start near 3^rd Street and work their way toward 5^th Street. The other crew on site will continue working on public laterals and services on W. 4^th Street.

DRIVEWAYS/PARKING – Please do not park on the Road on 4^th Street or Main Avenue while the contractors are performing their work in the area. They need plenty of room for their trucks and equipment to be able to easily and quickly complete their respective work. Park in your driveway if possible, or on the nearest side street.

• If you need special accommodations for parking, please reach out as we can arrange different parking options. This includes anyone with disabilities, recent surgeries, expecting mothers, and mothers with newborns that have appointments. Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” for parking and property access. The fewer cars that the contractor has to work around, the faster they can get the work done on your block and move on.

WORK ZONE 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 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. You may need to wait at times before driving by depending on the work being performed. Please be patient during construction.

*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, equipment, and workers everywhere. Construction activity will be noisy, and getting to your residence will be difficult at times. We understand that it can be frustrating while it happens, but we ask for your patience and understanding as we make the much needed improvements to your street and utilities. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. We can’t help if we don’t know.
