Roadway Paving Enhancements Beginning Week of July 20

What to Expect During Construction:

• Work hours will be from 7 a.m.- 6 p.m. Monday through Friday

• On street-parking spaces will be impacted during this work. Paper signs will indicate the hours and locations where parking is not allowed. These signs will be posted at least 24 hours before restrictions are in effect.
• Detours will be in effect while work is underway (between 7:00 a.m. and 6 p.m.). Please pay careful attention to signs and directions from detail officers.
• As the street is milled, the surface will be rough, with raised manhole covers. The roadway will be lower, making the curbs higher for parked cars. Please use caution when opening car doors, so they aren’t damaged on curbs. 
• Motorcycles and bicycles use caution when traveling on milled surface.
• If your driveway is within the limits of new paving, please plan trips accordingly. Vehicle access in and out of properties will be restricted during the paving operation.
• Access will be maintained for emergency vehicles and City services.

Newly paved areas will be reopened to users as conditions allow, typically within a few hours of completion.
