Most of the lots in this area are built on. The streets are in need of the permanent road surface to be installed, and the remaining sidewalks need to be constructed. CONSTRUCTION – WHY IS IT NEEDED C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A The construction will be done in 2 phases. The contractor will complete Phase 1 before starting Phase 2. This will allow for parking on the streets that are not being worked on and better access for residents. Phase 1 Streets: Ash Grove Place, Bear Paw Trail, Snow Goose Way, Beckett Lane, Campfire Court, and White Wolf Lane Parking for Phase 1: South Weiler Road, Antelope Trail, White Dove Lane, Haas Road and White Birch Street Phase 2 Streets: South Weiler Road, Antilope Trail and White Dove Lane Parking for Phase 2: Ash Grove Place, Bear Paw Trail, Snow Goose Way, Beckett Lane, Campfire Court, White Wolf Lane, Haas Road, and White Birch Street CONSTRUCTION – PHASING C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A • The contractor’s current schedule has them starting the paving of the first lanes on April 29th and go to May 7th. Paving of the second lanes is scheduled to start on May 9th and go to May 16th. Paving the first lanes on Antelope Trail, Weiler Road and White Dove Lane would start on July 8th and go to July 15th. The second lanes would start on July 16th and end on July 23rd. • The contractor will send out notices at least 24 hours before prepare a street for paving. The prep work includes setting string line and fine grading. • Paving is done one lane at time. The second lane is not paved until the first lane has cured. Curing takes about 7 days. Vehicles and equipment must stay off the concrete while it is curing. CONSTRUCTION – CONCRETE STREET PAVING C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A • Sidewalk and driveway apron new construction is scheduled to start on May 20th for the first phase. The sidewalk for Antelope, Weiler and White Dove will start on July 30th. The contractor will excavate, set forms and place stone for the sidewalk. Typically, a day or two after placing the stone they will pour the sidewalk. • The driveway aprons usually are poured a day or two after the sidewalk is poured. The contractor needs to remove the sidewalk forms before they can form and pour the driveway aprons. • Vehicles and Large Equipment must stay off newly poured concrete for 7 days while it cures and strengthens. • The 4-inch sidewalk will be installed with a slip form paver, which is a small paving machine, instead of forms. The contractor will use a string line like the street paver to guide the slip form machine. The 6” sidewalk and driveway aprons will be hand poured using forms.

You will need to find alternative parking on side streets. – Contractor is required to notify residents 24 hours in advance of any driveway obstruction or street closures – While construction happens on your street, the road will be closed to traffic. Try to plan accordingly if you need to come and go during working hours. – Driveways should be open on a nightly basis once construction has ended for that day, unless your street, driveway apron or sidewalk across your driveway was recently been paved. Vehicles and large equipment should stay off new concrete until it has cured and strengthened for 7 days – If you need special accommodations for parking, please reach out as we may be able to arrange different parking options. This includes anyone with disabilities, recent surgeries, expecting mothers, and mothers with newborns that have appointments. Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” for parking and property access. The fewer cars that the contractor has to work around, the safer it is for everyone and the faster they can get the work done on your block. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS • Will My Lawn be Disturbed? – The grass area between the Sidewalk and the Road (the Terrace) will be disturbed during construction – There may be a need for some restoration work on private property depending on sidewalk construction. New Sidewalk that the grade or slope has changed, may require work on private property. Usually no more then 3 feet behind the sidewalk. – The terrace areas along all newly constructed streets will be regraded and restored with fresh topsoil, grass seed, fertilizer, and erosion mat – Watering of new grass seed will be the responsibility of the resident. An informational flyer will be provided outlining best practices for establishing new grass – Coordinate with the City and the Contractor regarding any decorations, landscaping, and underground dog fences – Terrace Restoration costs are included in the Street Assessment FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS • What will happen with Garbage & Recycling Collection? – The schedule for Garbage and Recycling Collection will not change – In order to ensure all bins are collected, the City and Contractor will provide extra help to bring bins toward the garbage truck when not easily accessed – Place bins in the same spot you normally would leave them • What will happen with Mail Delivery? – If you have curbside delivery of mail, please make arrangements with the Kaukauna Post Office for service during construction. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to remove and re-install their mailbox. All curbside mailboxes must be removed prior to installation of the new pavement. If the homeowner does not remove the mailbox, the contractor will remove it with their construction equipment and lay it on the front lawn. The contractor will not be responsible for any damage. Please contact Kaukauna Post Office for guidelines on the installation of mailboxes. Mailboxes can be reinstalled after the landscape restoration is completed. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS • Will this Project be Noisy? – Yes. There will be times where the required construction may be very loud. Saws, excavators, compacting machines and paving machines will be running frequently throughout the life of the project – The Project Requirements related to noise will be followed during construction: • No construction related noise may be made before 7:00 am or after 6:00 pm, without prior approval from the Engineer. • There may be a few nights, after they pave concrete lanes, that the contractor would need to saw the new concrete after 6:00PM. They should not go later then 10:00 PM. • Will this Project be Messy? – Yes. Street Construction is not easy. There will be dirt, mud, dust, equipment, and workers everywhere. The Contractor will be asked to limit the extent of scattered supplies. – The Contractor is required to monitor the amount of dust on the project and will be asked to use means and methods to reduce that dust. The most common practice is the use of a water truck on site during periods of limited rainfall.
