CURBING, SIDEWALK, AND DRIVEWAY AND INSTALLATION
Nichols Ave.
The Watertown Department of Public Works and our contractor Onyx Corporation will begin installation of
granite curbing, concrete sidewalks and concrete driveway aprons starting MONDAY, APRIL 19, 2021.
• Granite curbing at driveways will be laid out and installed in accordance with zoning requirements.
Properties requiring driveway opening modifications have previously received letters from the Zoning
Enforcement Office noting the deficiencies and proposed remedies. DPW will not make modifications to
driveway openings unless approved by the Zoning Enforcement Agent.
• Please do not park your car next to any areas marked in front of your residence during construction.
• You will be notified by the Contractor prior to any work that affects access to your driveway. Driveways
may remain closed up to three days to permit the concrete to cure.
• Please note that there may be lapses in time between curbing installation, sidewalk excavation, installing
wood sidewalk forms, and final concrete work.
• Adjustments necessary to make sidewalks and driveways ADA compliant may require minor regrading of
areas beyond the back of sidewalk, such as landscaping, driveways or walkways. The Department will
match existing materials and finishes to the maximum extent possible.
We understand that the process is noisy, messy and disruptive and apologize in advance for any
inconvenience you may experience. We know you will enjoy the improved appearance and condition of your
sidewalks for many years in the future.
