Residents in the McKnight and Church Street area should prepare for the start of the Maple Street Reconstruction Project beginning July 7, 2025, as Haas Sons, Inc. begins work on the latest phase of the City of Stanley’s infrastructure improvements.
Construction crews will begin work on the project in the McKnight and Church Street area. Tyler Hastings, Project Manager with CBS Squared, Inc., the engineering firm overseeing the project, is reminding residents to limit driving through the construction zone whenever possible and to avoid parking on the street during the duration of the project.
Despite the disruption, residents will maintain access to their homes, as well as regular mail delivery and garbage service throughout the construction period.
To accommodate mail delivery, temporary mailbox banks will be installed by Haas, with the exact location to be determined in coordination with the U.S. Postal Service. Residents will be notified of the location as soon as it is finalized.
Garbage and recycling pickup will also continue, but with some adjustments. Haas will label each garbage and recycling bin, relocate them to a central collection point early in the morning on pickup day for GFL Environmental to access, and return them to residents’ driveways later that day. Bins must be placed out the night before collection—if they are not out in time, they may not be picked up that week.
Some homes may be temporarily connected to an above-ground water system during the project. In those cases, a temporary main will run along the ground and connect to homes through an outdoor hose bib. Residents whose water softeners are connected to their hose bibs are advised to bypass their water softeners during this time to avoid any interference with the temporary system.
“We look forward to getting this project started,” said Hastings.
