City explains which curb damage warrants replacement
Votes (1)
City of Lakeville Street Project Construction Services Overview
John Mumo from the City of Lakeville's Construction Services Division detailed aspects of street projects. Key points included criteria for spot curb and gutter replacement (severely damaged, impedes water flow), distinction from cosmetic damage (minor cracking, chipped curb), and impact on driveways (asphalt sections up to 5 ft, concrete up to first joint, or due to utility improvements). Limited property access during concrete work is communicated via door hangers 24 hours in advance. Areas of lawn disturbance (behind curb/gutter, around driveways, storm sewers, fire hydrants) and their specific impact limits (e.g., 1-ft either side of curb, 4-ft behind) were outlined. Residents were advised to temporarily remove private features (irrigation, pet containment, landscaping) from the city right-of-way in impacted areas to prevent damage.
Notable Quotes (3)
examples of spot curb and gutter that will be replaced are areas that are severely damaged or broken and curb that does not allow the flow of water during storm events
examples of curb and gutter that would not be replaced include minor or moderate cracking and any chipped curb as these are just cosmetic damages
if you would like to protect your private features from damage during construction such as irrigation or sprinkler systems pet containment systems and landscaping please temporarily remove them from the city right away in areas that will be impacted by construction
