Doan Construction will be on site on Brockman Boulevard to finish clearing the pathway for the proposed sidewalk along the south side of Brockman. During this work, driveways will be impacted by the construction. Residents are advised to avoid parking in the driveways as once the new sidewalk is constructed, no vehicles may travel over the pavement until the concrete has cured.

Detours and other travel impacts:

• Traffic will be maintained in both directions along Brockman Boulevard.
• Trash, recycle and compost collection, emergency access, and mail delivery will be maintained through the project.
