2024/25 RIGHT-OF-WAY RESTORATION PROGRAM
This program is for restoration of the right-of-way areas associated with various Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) projects. Disturbed ROW areas are restored using seed or dormant seed depending upon the time of year when work takes place.
The ROW Restoration program allows the City to bring in a single contractor who specializes in seeding to restore several locations with improved quality. Locations included within this project are typically associated with recently completed capital improvement projects, along with other small projects as needed.
