A contractor will be conducting a fiber optic infrastructure installation project within a defined area to enhance connectivity and improve communication network services. Work will include underground and/or aerial installation of fiber optic lines along designated streets and rights-of-way (ROW). Public Works has provided a ROW Permit to perform the work and ensure the project is performed per our standards to ensure the impact is minimal on customers and excavated areas are restored to near original condition (if grass is present) within a reasonable time frame.
The 6 & 7 sector (See Attached Map) is being actively worked with contractors expected to wrap up this section in the next 2 weeks. The contractors will be placing door hangers on businesses and residences for awareness. This area will have a northern border of Main Street, a western border of CSX , a eastern border of Memorial and a southern border of Fred Conner Street.
Residents and businesses in the project area may experience temporary impacts such as lane closures, sidewalk restrictions, construction noise, and increased presence of work crews and equipment. All efforts will be made to minimize disruptions and maintain safe access throughout the duration of the project.
Additionally some County/Sebring residents that are served by the City of Avon Park for some utilities will have work being performed in the Sebring Ridge and surrounding area as the fiber installers work through this area starting next week.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as these improvements are completed.
