1. For local traffic access to and from driveways, parking lot entrances and exits, delivery zones, and other locations noted in the Staging Plans where access is to be maintained.

2. Pedestrian access crossing each intersection must always be maintained on 3 of the 4 legs of the intersection. If the contractor is unable to provide these crossings, a pedestrian detour shall be added to their traffic control plan for approval by the Engineer.

The Contractor may request exceptions to these requirements (e.g., overnight closures, weekend closures, extension of one-lane traffic impacts, etc.) by providing a minimum of two weeks’ notice to the Engineer and the City of Minneapolis Traffic and Parking Services Division and will be subject to their joint approval. Approval of any modifications to these requirements may include, but not be limited to, the use of additional traffic control devices, advance notification signage, portable changeable message signage, and police officer use. As a condition of any approval, such necessary items will be incidental to the

Lump Sum price for Traffic Control.

The City of Minneapolis Traffic and Parking Services Division oversees permitting requirements for obstruction and lane use permitting. Any roadway drive lane or parking lane closure requires an obstruction permit, which can be obtained online through the City’s permitting program

(https://minneapolis.mn.roway.net/).
