How will the construction affect traffic and parking in my neighborhood? 

Temporary no-parking zones may be established during construction in both business and residential areas. They will be designated by signs at the curb. There may also be short-term lane, street, or sidewalk closures. This typically lasts just a few hours, and at most a day. 

The contractor is also responsible for providing proper access to homes and businesses during construction.  

How long will this work take? 

Restriping 

• Typically takes a few hours, and less than a day. If possible, the contractor will divert traffic to the other lane; otherwise, there will be a minor detour in place while our crew is in the street and to allow time for the paint to dry. 

Street Paving 

Street paving is a three-step process; therefore, you will need to move your car three times (so look for the posted signs!) 

• Step 1: Grinding. This lasts just a few hours, but it will be noisy. After this is done, you can park on the street again. 

• Step 2: Paving. This also usually lasts just one day. You will need to move your car. We will use construction chalk to temporarily stripe the street while the pavement/concrete cures. 

• Step 3. Permanent Striping is completed two weeks later. 

In the event of an emergency will police cars, fire trucks and ambulances be able to get to my home during construction? 

Yes. In the event of an emergency, the contractor will assist emergency vehicles as needed to provide access to all buildings and residences. All fire hydrants are kept in service during construction in the event of an emergency 

What should I do if my property is damaged during the construction project? 

The property owner should contact the City's Project Manager to provide information and initiate the claims process. Near the end of each project, the Construction Manager prepares a "punch list" of final repairs, upgrades and enhancements needed to complete the job. Most minor repairs are made by the contractor at this time.
