A few reminders . . .

To avoid damaging the newly laid concrete curbs and driveway approaches on the west side of the Blue section, please do not drive on the curbs or into newly laid driveways until the Roads contractor removes the barricades. Remind landscapers and others to do the same.

The contractor will be working on one side of each street, leaving the other open for traffic. There can be temporary delays or detours during some construction activity and while equipment needs to block the road for shorter periods of time. When driveway approaches are removed, they will be replaced with temporary stone approaches to maintain driveway access. There can be a delay, usually not more than an hour before the temporary stone is in place.

We are finding that the streets are becoming very congested when there is active construction. For this reason, we are asking residents to avoid driving on streets with actual construction activity if at all possible. If you must drive down a street under construction, please travel at slow speeds as you approach construction workers and equipment. When approaching the active construction area, make eye contact with the individual construction worker or the equipment operator before traveling past them. Equipment operators have many blind spots and may not see you unless eye contact is made.

Please also avoid parking during the day on any street where construction work is active. Once the workers leave for the evening, street parking is fine until 7 am the next morning. Please do remove vehicles parked overnight on the street before 7 am.

In case of an emergency, all construction staff will clear the road as quickly as possible to allow emergency services through.

The contractor will be working from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM, Monday through Saturday.

Soil erosion controls (the black fabric covers on manholes and drains) are to remain in place until the project is completed. The soil erosion controls will slow drainage and protect the drainage system from debris and/or sediment entering the system at all structure areas. Stormwater will drain more slowly in areas where soil erosion controls have been installed. This means the erosion controls are doing their job in keeping debris and sediment out of our sewers.

For questions or issues during construction, please contact Wayne Dabrowski at 248-858-4862 or wdabrowski@rcoc.org.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this project
