Information for Homeowners
Transportation Impacts (Road Closures)
In order to promote a safe working area, this project will result in temporary road closures along the project route. For the safety and wellbeing of yourself and any pets, please stay out of the construction area for the duration of this project. The road will be open to local traffic only.
Driveway Access and On-Street Parking
The contractor is required to maintain access to all homes during construction. There will be occasions when you may experience some delays, lack of service and inconvenience. Every effort will be made by the contractor to minimize these occurrences as well as communicate when they are to occur.
We do ask that you refrain from parking on the street during construction activities as this can delay things and prolong the construction period.
Lawn Sprinkler Systems
All work is to be completed on Norfolk County owned property. It is unlikely that any private sprinkler systems will be affected by this project. However, we ask that if you have underground lawn sprinkler systems, please mark the locations of sprinkler heads adjacent the road or municipal drain or road way within the project area.
Storm Sewer Servicing
Replacement of the storm sewer is being completed as part of this project to provide drainage for the new roadway. Storm services to each property will not be provided by this system.
Garbage and Recycling
The Contractor is required to maintain the pickup of garbage bags, garbage containers and recycling boxes left at the curbside from abutting residential or commercial properties within the limits of construction.
This may include the picking up of bags, containers and recycling boxes and placing them at a location convenient for pick up by County contractor. If this is required, empty garbage containers and recycling boxes shall be returned to the respective property owners on the same day.
Please clearly mark all containers and recycling boxes with your address so that they may be returned to the correct location. All regularly scheduled garbage and recycling pickups shall be maintained regardless of whether the Contractor is working on that day.
Tree & Vegetation Removal
With every construction project comes the removal of some trees, shrubs or other vegetation for various reasons. Some are at the end of their life span, while others may be affected due to the working area and the need for access by trucks and equipment. Trees deemed to present a hazard or are in conflict with the current construction activities will be removed as part of this project.
