Additional Information

During construction, you may notice that we move around your community in what seems to be an unorganized progression.

Not all intersections or curb locations are the same. Some are ready for construction. Others may have fire hydrants, utility boxes, utility poles, additional land requirements or we need an environmental permit. These are things we consider when scheduling the construction of the ramps in each city.

The locations ready for construction are done first because they can be done immediately, while those needing additional coordination or design are constructed later. This is why an intersection with four corners might be completed at different times.
