Businesses located on both sides of the street within the construction zone can expect the following service disruptions during the project:
Brief water service disruptions
A member of the construction team will drop in to notify affected businesses in advance.
Varying sidewalk conditions, including some barriers to patrons with mobility issues
Although front access to stores will be available throughout most of the project via compacted gravel surfaces and ramps, we recommend that businesses begin communicating now with patrons about back door entrances.
