Additional Information
Note about newly poured concrete
Newly poured concrete curb and gutter should not be driven on for 7 days. Residents in the 11th Avenue area are allowed to park on the street if needed during this time.
Reminder about Sod
New sod will be installed to restore yards disturbed with the project. Sod installed with the project will be maintained by the contractor for the first 30 days only. City staff will inspect the sod at the end of the 30-day period and have the contractor replace any dead sod. After this initial 30 days, maintenance and care of the sod will be the responsibility of the property owner. Neither the contractor nor the city will be responsible for replacing dead sod once it is the property owner’s responsibility to maintain.
It is also important for residents to not mow during the first 30 days. Do not mow until sod reaches 6 inches or is fully rooted. When mowing new sod, mow to a minimum height of 3.5 inches.
It may take a few growing seasons before the sod is fully established to the hearty condition of the rest of the yard.
Reminder about driveway access
Property owners within the construction area will continue to have access to their driveways before 7:00 a.m. and at the end of each workday. However, there will be times when driveway access is temporarily restricted. When this occurs, affected homeowners will be notified in advance.
We encourage residents to plan ahead and limit trips to and from their properties during construction. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to complete this project safely and efficiently.
For construction-related questions, residents can contact Dave Buganski, Plymouth’s construction representative, at dbuganski@plymouthmn.gov or 763-509-5530.
