Project 2-24 Update – Week of March 18-22

This is the first of many updates for Project 2-24 – Tobacnoir Street Area Utility Relay. Below are proposed work locations and possible residence impacts for the week of March 18. Color coordinated maps will be sent out along with these updates once we get deeper into the project.

CONSTRUCTION :

• Scott Lamers Construction has started their portion of work for the project this week, and will continue next week. They are performing private sewer lateral & water service replacement in various locations throughout the neighborhood. Their rough schedule and locations for next week are as follows:
  • Monday – Blackwell Street
  • Tuesday – Division & Desnoyer Street
  • Wednesday – Desnoyer Street
  • Thursday – Blackwell & Division Street

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  *
