Flags in Alley & Digging Along Street / Update on Construction Along Malone

Posted by rbutler on Monday, October 18 @ 2:52pm

We've received a few questions about the flags placed in the alleys and the construction begun along Oak Brook Ln. We checked into it and received this response from Janet Moeri with the City:

Verizon is in the process of installing an underground fiber optic distribution line in that area. The flags are marking existing underground utilities so that the contractor knows their locations prior to excavation. The City's line locator, Jim Gates, will be keeping an eye on the contractor to protect the City's infrastructure and to insure that proper restoration is done. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to call me directly at 214.509.4583 or email me at jmoeri@cityofallen.org

Additionally, we contacted the City for an update on the sewer line construction along Malone and Bethany. In brief, the commencement date has been delayed by a month until February 2005, and the construction will now begin on Bethany and work back towards Malone, rather than beginning at the lift station on Malone as was planned originally. The complete response with specific details about the project has been posted in the FAQ.
