Construction FAQs
City Hall has had numerous questions lately regarding construction activities. Below are answers to frequent topics.

SPRINKLERS: If your sprinklers have been damaged as part of the Sidewalk Replacement Program (SPR), please send an email to ciprojects@lathrupvillage.org with your name, address, phone number, and picture (if possible). It will be forwarded to the contractor for repair an inclusion on the punch list.

PARKING: Residents impacted by repaving activities may park on streets adjacent to construction zones. The Police Department is aware & will not be issueing tickets in these areas.

TIMELINES: In addition to the weekly e-newsletter, the city has an interactive map which is updated weekly with construction information. We do our best to stay on schedule; however, our contractors are also impacted by staffing shortages.
