Questions about this bond
Can a street closure automatically include the adjacent sidewalk?
No. The City's flowchart excludes adjacent sidewalks and other identified public spaces from that category. Show the actual sidewalk/bicycle/parking impacts separately.
Do I need City permission if nobody is digging?
The City's FAQ says closures require ROW permission even without excavation. Confirm the approved arrangement for the actual space and dates.
Does the final closure date establish bond expiration?
Not by itself. Use the accepted issued document's dates/conditions and actual City direction; the linked examples differ and do not guarantee the provider's terms.
