Englewood council asks staff to address inconsistent resident notice and trash access during street work
Summary
Council members raised concerns about inconsistent notification to residents about street and concrete maintenance and asked staff to clarify how Utilities and Public Works maintain trash collection when streets are closed for construction.
Council members asked Englewood city staff on Wednesday to clarify notification protocols and trash-collection access during street-closure construction after residents reported inconsistent notice and missed work dates.
At the mayor–manager meeting, staff summarized two requests from council members. One asked how Utilities and Public Works maintain access for trash pickup on residential streets closed for construction and whether residents and trash haulers are notified. A second request said residents have complained that contractors sometimes do not perform work on the dates they were notified, and asked what can be done to improve notice about upcoming street and concrete maintenance.
City Manager Sean Lewis relayed the requests to staff for follow-up. The meeting record shows the concerns were raised as council requests; no formal policy change, motion, or vote was recorded at the mayor–manager meeting.
City staff and council did not provide a timeline or specific corrective actions during the session. Council members asked staff to investigate and report back with options to improve resident notice and ensure trash collection access during closures.
