How do I compliment or complain about construction work going on in the street?

​Construction on City streets may be performed by one of several entities depending on the purpose. Entities include City crews from various departments, private utility and telecommunication companies, private contractors working for the City, private contractors working for utility and telecommunication companies, and private contractors working for land developers and builders.

City crews are typically in uniform and drive and operate vehicles and equipment that are marked with a department name and/or equipment number. Vehicles used by private utility and telecommunication companies should be marked with a company name or logo such as AT&T, Atmos Gas, or Oncor Electric. Also, almost all City street construction work is required to have a project information sign on site.

(It should be noted there are several State highways and freeways within the City limits. Construction and maintenance on these roadways are the responsibility of the Texas Department of Transportation).

To register a compliment or complaint you may call the contact number on the project sign or dial 3-1-1 when dialing from inside the city limits, or (214)-670-5111 when dialing from outside the city limits. Please be as descriptive as possible regarding the work including the location, the type of construction observed, and vehicle/equipment markings so that your report will be addressed timely by the appropriate entity.

There is a street construction project going on in my neighborhood. There has been no activity on the project for several days. Who do I contact to find out what is going on and when it will be completed?

Street construction activity may stop for periods of time for several reasons. Wet weather will cause a delay until the ground is dry enough to work. Some work, such as placing new concrete, is limited by temperature extremes and thus be delayed until temperatures are favorable. Also, new concrete must be allowed to “cure” for up to 14 days before it is open to traffic. To find out the status of the work you may call the contact number on the project sign (if one is on site) or dial 3-1-1 when dialing from inside the city limits, or (214)-670-5111 when dialing from outside the city limits.

Please keep in mind that construction on City streets may be performed by one of several entities depending on the purpose. Entities include City crews from various departments, private utility and telecommunication companies, private contractors working for the City, private contractors working for utility and telecommunication companies, and private contractors working for land developers and builders. Please note as much information as possible such as the location, type of work being performed, crew uniforms, and vehicle markings in order to correctly identify the appropriate entity when reporting your concern.
