As discussed at the resident construction kickoff meeting on May 3, residents on Crocker Ave should anticipate changes to your daily routines due to the contractor installing deep and large diameter storm sewer pipe. Residents should expect the following challenges:

• Loss of driveway access for up to 48 hours
• Temporary daytime water shutdowns
• No parking on Crocker Ave
• Crocker Ave road closure
• Potential temporary mailbox bank for mail pickup
• Temporary relocation of garbage and recycling containers by the contractor due to lack of access for garbage and recycling haulers
