Latest Project Updates:

Oaks of Shenandoah (Area 1):

The installation of the final wear course pavement has been postponed until late summer. This delay allows residents additional time to coordinate with their private driveway contractors for any necessary driveway replacement work. In the meantime, residents may resume use of their irrigation systems. Any related concerns should be directed to the City.

Thrush Park (Area 2):

Construction crews will be active this Saturday, July 12, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., performing gravel base grading in preparation for paving. Looking ahead, weather permitting, the first layer of asphalt pavement is tentatively scheduled to be placed on July 17 and 18. Residents should plan for potential traffic delays and increased construction noise during this period.

Thousand Oaks (Area 3):

Utility work is underway, with crews focusing on watermain replacements and the installation of storm sewer catch basins. This essential infrastructure work will continue throughout the week.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed through official city updates and to contact the City or project representatives with any questions or concerns.
