SIDEWALKS, TREES & LIGHTING
Q Will there be Street Light Poles installed?
A Yes, there will be 39 new street lights installed as part of the project.
Q What trees are being removed?
A The Tree Protection Plan identifies the trees to be removed, which includes the removal of diseased or dying trees. The City of Houston identifies trees that can be preserved on a case-by-case basis.
Q What are my options if I do not want to construct a sidewalk with my project?
A Because all construction on this project is being completed along City of Houston major thoroughfares, sidewalks are required to be installed based on the City of Houston's standards.
CONSTRUCTION
Q At some point, will my utilities be affected?
A There will be no interruption to utility service as part of the project, as the contractor will be providing temporary service connections during construction. Please note that the contractor will provide notice 72 hours in advance if utilities are interrupted.
Q Will this project cause traffic/mobility issues (lane closures, increase of trucks in the area, etc.)?
A Because the pavement along Lockwood and Navigation will be replaced, some lanes will be closed as part of the Traffic Control Plan. At least one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction at all times during construction.
Q Are they going to dig up the front area or just the street?
A This is a complete reconstruction project, and all areas within the public ROW will be under construction.
Q When will my services be transferred to the new line?
A Service transfers will vary and will be based on contractor's schedule of testing and transferring.
