2025 Road Construction Updates – 9-25 Linda Court & Thelen Avenue Utility Relay July 7-11

CONSTRUCTION :

• Carl Bowers Construction – 3 crews will remain on site next week. Most of the work next week will take place on Linda Court. It will be quite busy as crews work to get storm sewer installed, along with relaying the remaining sewer and water services. If you live on Linda Court, I would suggest finding an alternate parking space during the day.
  • Crew 1: Will be starting storm sewer construction on Thelen Avenue, beginning at a point between 1909 and 2005 Thelen. They will be working South toward Ann Street, then working West on Linda Court.
  • Crew 2: Will be relaying sanitary laterals and water services on Linda Court.
  • Crew 3: Will be relaying sanitary laterals and water services on Linda Court.

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.
