Notes on disturbances to lawns, driveways, and mailboxes

• In many locations the Right of Way extends onto lawns and driveways.
• There will be disturbance to portions of lawns and driveways located within the right of way. In some cases, mailboxes will have to be removed.
• The disturbed lawns will be repaired with topsoil and grass seed at the conclusion of the project.
• Driveways will be restored to pre-project conditions at the conclusion of the project.
• Mailboxes may be returned to a different location during the project but will be returned to their pre-project locations at the conclusion of the project.
• The final restoration of lawns, driveways, and mailboxes will occur at the end of the project which will be later this summer.
