ACCESS TO PROPERTY

If new concrete is placed in front of your driveway, you will need to keep off these surfaces for at least three days for light traffic and seven days for heavier traffic.  The contractor has been instructed to give residents notice prior to service interruption.

LANDSCAPE RESTORATION

Landscape restoration for this project will be to a condition equal to or better than the existing conditions. Disturbed areas in front of private residences will be restored with seed and mulch. 

MAILBOXES

This project may require the relocation of some mailboxes within the construction zone. The contractor will remove the mailboxes, on an as-needed basis, and move them away from the roadway, outside the construction zone. If your mailbox is removed, the options for continued mail service are to either re-establish your mailbox at a temporary location outside of the construction zone (away from the construction area), or to request that the River Falls Post Office holds your mail for pickup. Upon project completion, all property owners are responsible for locating their mailboxes at a curbside location. The City and the contractor are not responsible for relocating mailboxes. Property owners will be responsible for reinstalling mailboxes at both their temporary and permanent locations
