City Code Section 130.45 restricts the hours of construction operation from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends and holidays.

Contractors working on the 2nd Avenue and Lewis Street Parking Lot Improvement project requested at the preconstruction meeting that the city extend working hours to begin work at 7 a.m. on Saturday mornings through the end of September 2024.

This extension will help meet the project deadlines. If property or business owner complaints are received by the City, the ordinance suspension can be revoked at the discretion of the City Engineer.

With Council's approval, a public news release and notice would be placed in the New Prague Times and on the City's website to meet the City Code requirements .
