Request by MMSD for Nighttime Work Hours, 7:00 P.M. to 7:00A.M, on Honey Creek - Bluemound Road to Honey Creek Parkway
B. Background/Options
During the August 9th-10th flood in Wauwatosa a portion of the concrete streambank in Honey Creek was severely damaged. MMSD has worked with Jacobs to produce plans and specifications for the emergency repair of the concrete. The project will protect the shallow foundation bridges and streambank from further scour. Work in the streambank will require a generator for stream bypass pumping 24 hours a day.
MMSD has provided a project schedule, and resident outreach plan in anticipation of the work.
Municipal Code Section 15.02.100 states:
1. No person, firm or corporation shall at any time between the hours of seven p.m. and seven a.m. Monday through Saturday, or during any hours on Sunday create any loud or sharp noises, concussions, or disturbing sounds associated with the construction, excavation, demolition, alteration, or repair of any building or development. The board of public works may modify these times upon request for variance and based on exceptional circumstances.
Due to the unplanned nature of the work and the approaching winter season, MMSD is requesting approval for working hours between 7:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. to complete this project.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
Infrastructure
D. Fiscal Impact
No impact to the City of Wauwatosa
