What is the crews' progress? 

Natural gas main installation is complete in the Morris Neighborhood. Service work is underway and expected to continue through early next week. The final step in the construction process will be restoration of affected sidewalks, roads, lawns, and boulevards.

Due to the colder temperatures, crews will perform temporary restoration efforts throughout the fall with permanent solutions to come in the spring and summer of 2025 as weather conditions allow.

Sidewalks receive temporary asphalt, allowing for safe snow removal and transportation throughout the cold months. In the spring, permanent concrete restoration will occur as temperatures are warmer.

To control winter erosion on boulevards and lawns, holes are backfilled with dirt and covered with straw matting. In 2025, black dirt, grass seed and biodegradable netting will replace the temporary work done this fall. This practice promotes effective grass growth come spring.
