Street Maintenance Program
Questions and Answers
When will construction on my street begin?
Construction will begin on Wed, Jun 16, 2010, and is scheduled to continue through Sept. 17, 2010. Due to weather and other factors it is impossible to determine exactly when construction will start on your street. The contractor plans to begin on Galway Drive, Calloway Court and Tipperary Court North and Brand Road (between Avery Rd. and Muirfield Drive) starting Wednesday June 16, 2010
Please check this Web site for updates to the schedule.
How will I be affected during construction?
Because the road will periodically be torn up, access to your street and sometimes your driveway may be obstructed during construction hours. We do not plan to come in contact with your private property.
However, if any damage does occur to your lawn it will be repaired. The City appreciates the property owner’s cooperation in watering newly seeded areas. Please notify your lawn services of any seeded areas on your property.
What happens during construction?
There are multiple stages in resurfacing a street. You will notice some large equipment such as jackhammers, backhoes, concrete saws, front-end loaders and dump trucks hauling construction materials in and hauling excavated materials out.
There may be days when you notice a lot of action, and others you notice very little. Please do not be alarmed if nothing is happening on a particular day. The contractor will be working on several streets throughout Dublin and may not be able to spend all his time on your street. Rest assured that once construction begins on your street, it will be completed in a timely manner.
What if I have a sprinkler system or undergound dog fence by my curb?
If you have a sprinkler system or electric dog fence immediately behind the curb, please notify Jeremy Cooper, at 614-410-4634, or jcooper@dublin.oh.us, as soon as possible. He will notify the contractor of its existence so that extra care can be taken during the curb removal. Should the contractor damage your sprinkler system or dog fence after the City is notified of its presence, the contractor will repair it to its original condition as soon as possible. Once construction begins in front of your house please test your dog fence before you let your dog out.
What has the City done to keep debris and noise to a minimum?
Construction projects can create noise, dust or other disruptions. To minimize these problems, the City will restrict hours of construction work. The contractor will also use dust retardants to minimize dust particles in the air, cleaning up debris regularly, and restoring any damage to pre-construction condition.
What if there is an emergency at my home?
There will be no changes in your emergency services. The police and fire departments will be notified of all construction areas and will have planned emergency routes. Additionally, there will be no changes in your refuse pick-up. All lawn waste, garbage and recyclable collection will continue according to their normal pick-up schedules.
How long will I be inconvenienced?
Construction work will start at 7 a.m., and will last for approximately eight hours each day. For the most part you will have access to your driveways in the evenings. The only time you will not have access to your driveway for an extended time period will be if a new curb is installed across the driveway. The contractor has been instructed to give you access to your driveway within seven days after the old curb is removed. Once the new curb is poured we ask that you allow four days for it to cure before you drive on it.
The contractor will place a notice on the front door 24 - 48 hours prior to closing your driveway.
What if I need more information?
For more information, such as daily progress of construction, you can contact Jeremy Cooper, Project Inspector, at 614-410-4634, or jcooper@dublin.oh.us.
