Dear Resident,
A City of Sugar Land contractor is scheduled to begin sidewalk rehabilitation work in the Plantation Colony Subdivision during the week of September 20. The scope of the project is to remove and replace sidewalk slabs that, over time, have settled and created tip hazards.
The contractor has been instructed to remove and replace individual sidewalk slabs within one week's time. The objective is to ensure that homeowners will be directly inconvenienced by the presence of the contractor in their front yard for no more than 7 days. The entire Plantation Colony Subdivision Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project is scheduled to last approximately 90 days.
It is anticipated that the removal and replacement of the sidewalk slabs will be minimally invasive to residents' front yards. However, if an area greater than four inches in width from the new sidewalk is disturbed, it will be repaired using sod. If the disturbed area is less than four inches in width it will be filled with bank sand. In most cases the sidewalk will not be removed and replaced in the same day.
Areas where the sidewalk has been removed will be secured with orange construction fencing to ensure pedestrian safety when the contractor is
not present.
The City requests residents turn off their irrigation systems when construction starts in front of their home. Residents are welcome to turn the systems on once the construction is complete. Please test irrigation systems immediately after the completion of the work at your home so that if the system was damaged during construction, repairs can be made promptly. The City's contractor will make the repairs professionally and at no charge to the resident.
Should you have any questions or if you would like additional information, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Michael Leech
Assistant Director of Public Works
