Construction Work Hours for 6th Avenue, Dec. 12

The City is installing a bridge at 6th Avenue.  Coos Bay City code requires normal construction hours to occur from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Due to the influence of tides on this project, West Coast Contractors has requested that the City consider extending the normal work hours to better take advantage of the low tides.  Between December 20th and January 31st there are 28 days in which low tides will occur either before or after normal working hours.  As such, the contractor is requesting that on those 28 days that the construction hours be increased from 3:00 am to 10:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The Coos Bay City Council will meet to consider this request on December 12th at 5:30 pm at the Fire Station located at 410 Elrod Street and on December 19th at 7:00 pm at City Hall located at 500 Central Avenue. Council would greatly appreciate citizen input on this matter prior to making a decision. If you cannot attend the meeting please call or email your concerns, and they will be passed on to Council as public comment. Please send emails to jspann@coosbay.org or call (541) 269-1181 extension 2221.
