Prepare for paving 

Curbside trees, shrubs and plants need to be trimmed prior to paving. 

Tree and shrub requirements  

1. Do not block street or traffic signs and signals. 
2. Overhanging tree branches need to be 12 feet above the street and 8 feet above the sidewalk. 
3. Shrubs and plants should not extend beyond the curb or sidewalk. 

What to expect during construction 

The contractor, City project team and inspectors will be on site. We will make every effort to minimize impacts.

• Work hours are 7:00 am – 7:00 pm for neighborhood streets. 
• The contractor will leave a 24-hour notice on your door before work begins. The street must be clear of vehicles or other materials. 
• Watch for no parking signs. Vehicles may be towed at the owner's expense if left on the street at the time of paving.  
• Mail and package delivery will continue during construction 
• Garbage haulers will be notified.
• Prior to construction, locate crews may mark the street to indicate the location of underground utilities.  
• Weather can impact schedules. 

Construction steps

1. Remove existing sidewalk curb materials, install sloped ramps to provide improved safety at pedestrian crossings.
2. Street reconstruction preparation. Construction equipment and materials will be parked on the street.  Project street signs will be posted.
3. Existing pavement will be ground and removed with large milling machines.
4. Street shaping, grading and compaction will occur. 
5. Paving (If it is raining, paving will be delayed). Asphalt is applied and then rolled smooth.  
6. On larger streets there will be signal detection, crosswalks, bike lanes and long line striping re-installed. 

Construction impacts

Sidewalk ramp work

• Temporary sidewalk and bike lane closures; possible flaggers directing traffic; and limited on-street parking.

 Street reconstruction

• Limited on-street parking. 
• Dust is likely. 
• Temporary loose gravel on the street.   
• Temporary vibration could be felt inside homes.
• Reduced speeds.
• Partial street closures, resulting in delays.
• Access to your driveway may be limited.
