The Woods - Upcoming Driveway Repaving
We’re excited to announce that driveway repaving in The Woods will begin this July! This project will be completed by a PWF-contracted vendor and aims to enhance both safety and curb appeal throughout the neighborhood.
In preparation, you may see PWF staff and contractors in the area throughout June. They will be removing trees and roots and potentially relocating or removing downspouts that may interfere with the repaving process.
Our target start date for driveway work is early July. Once the schedule is confirmed, we will provide advance notice to each resident with their specific project dates - weather permitting.
Please Note – Parking Impact:
Once work begins on your driveway, you will not be able to park in your garage or on your driveway for approximately 4 to 5 days. Temporary "No Parking" zones will also be implemented on nearby streets during this period.
If you or a member of your household has any special needs that require access to the driveway during this project, we kindly ask that you contact the maintenance office once you receive the letter notifying you that your area is part of the next phase. We’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.
We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to improving your community!
