PROJECT UPDATE – AUGUST 2023 

Fase 1

Construction of Phase 1 improvements began in early junio and is expected to be completed in Marzo 2024. This phase includes three subprojects and is being constructed in stages to minimize traffic impacts. Work along Quincy Avenue (Subproject 3) and Palisades Drive (Subproject 6) have tentatively been removed from the construction schedule to re-evaluate priorities.
We’re committed to limiting construction impacts on neighbors and community members. Our construction management plan includes minimizing impacts from traffic, noise, dust and other construction concerns. 

Construction will generally occur Lunes to Viernes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours and weekends (as needed and on a very limited basis). Any work that includes crossing driveways will be coordinated with residents one day prior to work commencing and again on the day of work before being impacted. Emergency Medical Services, mail, garbage and delivery services will have continued access.

If there is a planned shutdown of the water service that will impact your property, you will be notified ahead of time. If there are delays to the schedule, a project representative will be on-site to notify you.
