Many property owners are concerned about access to their properties during construction.
During any street improvement project there will be inconveniences such as noise, dust, and access difficulties. The City and the contractor will try to limit these as much as practical while still completing the construction in a timely manner. Often, requiring the contractor to maintain vehicular access to all properties at all times not only costs the taxpayers significantly more money, it also extends the time of construction in this area. A balance between access and timely construction is important. To that end, there is usually a period of time between two days and one week in which access to a particular driveway will be lost while the street pavement is being placed.
