By having access to these Moratoriums lists in advance, contractors or utilities with projects that require excavation of the roadways can more effectively plan and review conflicts that will be encountered.

Currently, roadway sections with active moratoriums have special consideration as to method and size of restoration, and additionally, increased permit fees.

Presently, three moratorium types are being displayed on this website:

1. Street Construction is used when the street has been reconstructed. By City Council Ordinance, the moratorium is ten (10) years and during this period permit fees are doubled.

2. Street Resurfacing is used when the road has been re-paved. By City Council Ordinance, the moratorium is seven (7) years and during this period permit fees are doubled.

3. Median or Median Landscaped is used where landscaped medians or planters exist on the street median. For these moratoriums types, there is no fee adjustment; however, if a construction permit is being requested, the applicant will be directed to review the planned project with the Department of Transportation/Bureau of Highways staff for special instructions on how to properly protect or reconstruct the street medians.
