📢 A Quick Clarification for Our Residents

You may notice various work taking place in the City’s rights-of-way throughout the community. We want to clarify that this work is being performed by outside contractors and private companies—not by City employees or City crews.

Although the work is taking place within the City Right-of-Way, it is not City work. The City is not performing or directing this work that residents may see taking place.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as these projects are completed. Thank you for helping us keep the community informed!
