TIMELINE

The work will begin in July 2025. Weather permitting, the work will be completed by late fall 2026.

PROJECT SCOPE

The first phase of the job includes conduit boring in the terrace area and pull box installation.

After the conduit and pull box installation is completed, the contractor will install new underground lighting wire, replace/relocate poles, and install new energy efficient LED fixture. During this time, parking space and traffic flow will be reduced within the work area. Temporary "No Parking" signs will be posted from 7 a.m. to 5p.m. from Monday to Friday to allow contractor to gain sufficient access for the construction equipment. Vehicles parked in violation of posted temporary no parking or time restriction signs may be ticketed and/or towed. 

The contractor will restore the disturbed area in kind after their work is completed. For concrete restoration, allow 7 days to cure after the last portion of concrete is constructed. For grass terrace area, the contractor will replace the disturbed area with seeding. After the initial rolling and watering, continued maintenance of the new seed is the responsibility of the property owner.

PARKING RESTRICTIONS

Temporary "No Parking" signs will be posted from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Signs will be posted within the active work zone.
