Westwood Reconnect Letter - June 20, 2023

We know it’s been some time since we’ve been in contact. We wanted to reconnect with you to see if you have any feedback, concerns or questions. If you’re curious about the construction work, we’re doing, or what work is happening next, we can answer your questions.

Our construction inspector, Nathan Howard, wears a white hard helmet and is on site full-time. The inspector is the first person to contact on site and is located in the site trailer in the middle of the site. If you require special access to your property for moving, or are waiting for a special delivery, please give the inspector enough notice so your request can be accommodated.

We know the work during a reconstruction project is an inconvenience for you to get to your property. Please let us know if you need more temporary parking passes. We hope your waste is collected on the regular day as normal, and that you’ve been able to place your waste by the curbside by 7 a.m. The contractor should be relocating your waste as required and returning any containers belonging to you in a timely fashion. If there are any issues, please let us know.

Stage 1:

• The concrete contractor should be starting the sidewalk and driveway aprons today and will continue until complete.
• Gravel road base asphalt is being scheduled for the end of this week followed by base asphalt tentatively scheduled for the end of next week or beginning of the week of July 3^rd.
• There will be little to no driveway access available over the next two weeks due to the nature of the work – however access will significantly improve/normalize once this work is complete
