Information for Homeowners

Transportation Impacts (Pedestrians | Cyclists)

Due to the size of the facility and restricted work area, this project will result in temporary restrictions/closure of the sidewalks and pathways adjacent to the stormwater management facility. For the safety and wellbeing of yourself and any pets, please stay out of the designated construction area during this project.

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. Through this project, it is unlikely there will be any disruptions with respect to driveway/property access.
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 clearly mark the locations of sprinkler heads adjacent the stormwater management facility, road and/or sidewalk access.

Tree & Vegetation Removals

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 constrained work site and the need for access by trucks and equipment. Trees deemed to present a hazard or conflict with the construction activities will be removed as part of this project. Norfolk County will evaluate the potential for appropriate tree planting opportunities after construction is complete.
