Traffic, Pedestrian Access, Parking & Detours

During the construction project, local traffic flow will be maintained throughout the construction project, where possible.

• Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. Certain areas may be enclosed using modular safety fencing or barrels to ensure public safety while allowing safe passage.
• Emergency vehicle access for police, fire, and medical response will be maintained at all times.
• Detours will be established when needed to direct traffic around the construction area

Waste Collection

If construction disrupts regular garbage or recycling pickup, the Contractor will transport bins to the ends of the construction zone for collection.
To assist in returning bins to the correct properties:

• Please ensure bins are clearly labeled with your address.
• Have them placed outside by 7:00 a.m. on collection days.

The Contractor will also coordinate access for private waste collection services, where applicable.

Mail and Deliveries

The Contractor will work directly with affected properties to ensure uninterrupted access for mail and package deliveries throughout the project.

Encroachments

If you have any encroachments on Municipal property such as sprinkler heads, lights, planters, rocks, flower beds, etc. please remove them or have them clearly marked and best efforts will be made to avoid them. However, the Town will not be held responsible for damage to these and other items that may be on municipal property and close to the contractor’s work zone.

Special Event or Circumstance 

If you have a special event planned at your property or require special needs on a given day, please advise the Town office well in advance and every attempt will be made to schedule the work to prevent or reduce interference with your planned activities.
