Seasonal Restriction Policy and Variance Request for Oceanfront and Sandbridge Areas
In an effort to safely and effectively move vehicles and pedestrians through the oceanfront and Sandbridge areas during the summer months, the Department of Public Works has developed a Seasonal Restriction Policy and Variance Request procedure for construction activity impacting the right-of-way.
Between May 1 and September 30, construction activity that involves sidewalk and/or lane closures is not permitted in the oceanfront or Sandbridge areas. The Department of Public Works, Traffic Engineering division’s Roadway Work Hours lists specific roadways impacted by this policy as well as other roadways with construction activity restrictions.
In specific cases, the Director of Public Works may authorize and approve variances or waivers from strict application of the seasonal restriction policy where appropriate and justifiable to the individual situation. For consideration, the applicant must submit the variance request with complete documentation and justifiable support in accordance with the instructions provided on the form.
