Pre-construction neighborhood meeting slated for Fifth and Grove Reconstruction Project

posted on: 4/15/2024

City staff will hold a neighborhood meeting on the pending Fifth and Grove Reconstruction Project on Tuesday, April 30, at 6 p.m. at the Dover Police Station, 46 Chestnut St. The meeting will be held in the department’s community room. Staff from the construction contractor, N. Granese & Sons., and the design engineering consultant, Woodard & Curran, will also attend to discuss the project and answer any questions.

The project is scheduled to begin in May and continue through December, weather and other conditions permitting. Final paving will occur in 2025.

Part of the discussion will include the scope of the project, and how the project will impact the residents and businesses in the area.

Most properties in the project area will be connected to a temporary water system to allow the replacement of the water main. There will be road closures (local traffic will retain access), and sections where on-street parking will be prohibited to allow excavation of the road to replace underground utilities.

Tree waivers and permission to enter forms

Tree waivers have been mailed to property owners within the project limits who own trees located in the public right of way deemed necessary for removal.

Permission to Enter forms have also been mailed to property owners whose property may be temporarily impacted. Permission to Enter temporarily allows the contractor to be on private property to perform project work, such as constructing sidewalks.

Please return the enclosed owner response forms to the City of Dover.
