ITEM TITLE: REQUEST FOR PERMIT TO WORK OUTSIDE THE HOURS OF 7 AM AND
6 PM FROM THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO
PERFORM THE CONSTRUCTION OF A RAPID RECTANGULAR FLASHING
BEACON (RRFB) PEDESTIAN CROSSING IN THE VICINITY OF 44TH
STREET ON MAIN STREET.
ACTION
REQUESTED:
Allow/Not allow construction activities outside the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. for
the Oregon Department of Transportation to work on the Main Street pedestrian
crossing project in the vicinity of 44th Street. Requested times would be Monday –
Friday 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m. The anticipated duration of night work for this project
is approximately one month.
ISSUE
STATEMENT:
Section 5.220(c) of the Springfield Municipal Code restricts the hours that
construction activities may occur between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
ATTACHMENTS: None
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Property and business owners around the new proposed RRFB pedestrian crossing
located on Main Street in the vicinity of 44th Street have requested that
construction activities be limited to night time so that customer access is not
affected.
In particular, Gray’s Garden center does a majority of its business during the
summer months when construction is being proposed. Allowing for night work will
allow construction crews to work outside of the hours when a majority of customers
would access the business.
