Keep up with Parker news and happenings with our list of five things to know for May.
Where to Find Roadwork Information:
Parker's Streets Maintenance Division works hard to keep our roadway network running smoothly, and spring and summer are the most active seasons for maintenance. The Town has multiple resources to learn about and follow active projects.
• Streets Maintenance Division Website
• 2022 Street Maintenance Projects Map
• Capital Improvement Project Update
Contact the Public Works and Engineering Department with construction-related questions at 303.840.9546.
Several projects will also be taking place near, but outside of, the Town’s official boundaries this spring and summer. Visit Douglas County’s transportation webpage for information on County-coordinated projects. Information on Colorado Department of Transportation projects can be accessed here.
