Jobsite Considerations for Projects Affecting Streets and Sidewalks
Permits are to be posted on the jobsite at all times and available for review by request for authorized city personnel. Construction areas must be protected and barricaded until they can be opened to pedestrian or vehicle traffic without damage.
By City Ordinance, failure to secure the required permits and/or work found to be not to city standards may result in a stop work order, fines, and penalties.
The City retains the right to adjust work hours based upon the impact that the project has on pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow. The Bureau of Traffic must approve a traffic plan prior to the commencement of work.
The City reserves the right to close or suspend any construction project in progress. Special construction conditions apply to winter months.
Any streets resurfaced with in the past 5 years will have additional restoration requirements. Please see details on contractor registration packet.
