Staff has collected several frequent questions and answers for you. As always, if you have a question that is not listed below, please email us at pinellas-ponce@townofbelleair.net and we'll be happy to help.
- Are the trees in the project area going to be removed? Many trees in the project area will be removed prior to construction. Trees located in the area between sidewalks and curbs will be removed and there currently NO replacement plans.
- What should I do if my irrigation system is damaged from the project? Staff is advising one-on-one irrigation inspections prior to the start of construction to ensure proper operation and location of irrigation heads. If any damage should occur within project limits as a result of construction, please report the damage as soon as possible to either the contractor or email Town staff at pinellas-ponce@townofbelleair.net.
- Are the sidewalks going to be replaced? Sidewalks will be replaced on an as-needed basis during the project. Any current sidewalk sections that are damaged will be repaired or replaced.
- How will solid waste and recycling pickup continue within construction zones? The contractor is responsible for taking containers from your curb over to an area nearby for solid waste and recycling pickup and for returning the containers to your driveway following disposal. Your regular collection schedule will apply throughout the project.
