§ 9.14.002. Permit procedure.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    Anyone who will be performing work which will require a road closure(s) will provide to the department of public works a "road closure plan and schedule." (In the case of municipal contracts, this will be provided at the preconstruction conference following award.) This plan will include proposed barricade locations, signing, detours, etc. It will be forwarded to traffic engineering for review and will be coordinated with local residents as necessary. This is a planning document and does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility for applying for a road closure permit as required herein. Failure to provide a road closure plan may delay approval of a road closure permit.

    B.

    For a proposed full closure of an arterial street, application shall be made, where possible, 14 days prior to closure time for the purpose of determining alternate routes and providing adequate information to the public. For any partial closure of an arterial street or any closure of a collector street, application shall be made at least four working days prior to the requested closure time. The provisions of this subsection may be waived by the director of public works for:

    1.

    Municipal contracts under section 9.14.002.A above, wherein special provisions and/or general provisions may provide otherwise;

    2.

    A partial closure of an arterial or collector street on weekends or holidays or when the hours of closure will be between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and not more than one lane of traffic will be closed or otherwise seriously affect traffic or local access.

    C.

    Closure of residential streets and short-term closures of other streets for maintenance, manhole or vault access, etc., may frequently be arranged through verbal discussion with public works. Where possible, 48 hours' notice will be required for such closures, except in emergencies as set forth below.

    D.

    Traffic control devices for road construction, maintenance operations, utility work and other street use shall be as specified in the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
