Transportation and infrastructure projects are important to ensuring that our streets remain accessible and safe. Every project is different, but when an improvement project is under construction near you keep in mind a few of these common guidelines to adjust your routine.
Driveway Access
Access will be available to your property at most times for the duration of a project. Crews are required to provide you access at the beginning and end of every day, if possible. If work takes place in front of your driveway and you are without access temporarily, you will be notified in advance. If you have special access needs, contact the City’s Utilities Dispatch at (940) 349-7000 and choose Option 3.
Parking
We ask that you do not park vehicles on streets that are under construction during working hours (7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday-Friday), as construction can be delayed if crews do not have access. At the end of each working day, normal street parking and traffic will be accommodated on all roadways. There may be times where work over the weekend will occur. Please do not park on the streets during these times.
Garbage Service
During construction, trash and recycling haulers may not have access to the front of your property. When construction is taking place on your street, please have your trash and recycling receptacles curbside as early as possible. If necessary, the City’s crews will move your containers to a location accessible to the haulers and return it to your driveway following pick-up.
Mail Service
If the post office determines that it is temporarily not feasible to deliver mail to your mailbox due to construction activities, the City will work to keep residents informed when temporary mail service will be required/located and the timing of any changes.
Tree, Shrub, Landscaping, and Lawn Irrigation Systems
Crews will restore disturbed areas to their original condition to the greatest extent possible. However, if you have landscaping items such as shrubs, rock gardens, yard lights, etc. that you would like to save and reinstall yourself following construction, please plan to remove them ahead of time.
