District 5 Paving Plan for 2020
From Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer's office:
"Several roadways in District 5 are set for improvement this year, as indicated on [this map]. Before work begins, adjacent homes will be notified and 'No Parking' signs will be placed on the street. The City asks that residents make every attempt to move their cars for this work to occur - cars left on the street when work begins will be moved, normally within a two-block radius of where the car was parked. Residents who need help locating their cars can call the City’s non-emergency line at 720-913-2000 for assistance. With parking is in high demand given the COVID-19 work from home recommendations, residents will not receive citations if their cars need to be moved, until further notice.
All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change. Visit this website for a weekly update and full description of each roadway Treatment Type mentioned on the map's legend."
