My customers are having a hard time finding my business. What type of signage can businesses have during this time? 

To assist businesses promoting their operations, there is a temporary suspension of the sign ordinance enforcement for businesses within the construction area. This allows businesses to use signage such as A-frames, flags and banners. While enforcement is suspended during this construction period, placement of signs should not unnecessarily block sidewalks or interfere with traffic on the street or in the construction areas. 

Where can my customers park during construction? 

During construction, there are several public parking lots available for businesses and customers. View the map of available parking.

What’s happening at the old Central Fire Station?

A new Central Fire Station was included in the 2020 Bond Package. The city is using the former site to build a new fire station to service the downtown/south Irving area. Watch the August 25 Town Hall for details on the design of the fire station.
