CONSTRUCTION :

  • WE Energies – Gas Service replacement has been completed.
  • Carl Bowers ConstructionWill be on site Monday, June 9th to saw and break concrete along Thelen Avenue to prepare for construction. Utility work will begin Tuesday, June 10th at the intersection of Henry Street & Thelen Avenue. The intersection will be closed for the day while new water mains are constructed. Once the work in the intersection is complete, they will continue south down Thelen Avenue toward Ann Street with water main construction. While work is happening in front of your property, it will not be easy for you to access your driveway. Please plan ahead by parking in an alternate location when work is nearing your property. Water main construction generally happens at a faster pace, so driveway access may only be cut off for a few hours.

DRIVEWAYS/PARKING Please do not park on the road while the contractor is performing their work in the area. They need plenty of room for their trucks and equipment to be able to easily, quickly, and safely complete their 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 me with any questions or concerns. We can’t help if we don’t know.
