Due to the rapidly changing state and local policies regarding COVID-19, the District did not conduct in-person Informational Pop-Ups this construction season. Communication with residents in the affected subdivisions was handled via mail, social media, or door-to-door interaction.
Final paving for these projects took place at the end of October. Due to snow and weather impacts, final clean up was delayed and contractors are still in the process of restoring the areas affected by construction.
