Road Work Within the condo complex

Has anyone ever had a major project of repairing the roads within their complex?... when I say repair, I mean major repairs that may cost upwards of $500,000 or more? This would mean a shut down of the complex...do not know where the owners of vehicles would park. I am against it as it would be total chaos.. Surely other complexes have entered into major road(black top) repairs and am attempting to find out how it was handled at your place(s)

Alex,

We own the roads. We do seal coating, patching and milling/paving of those roads.
These things require that the lots are empty.

Painting, milling/paving, repairs are typically not too much of an issue.
We have people out by 8 a.m. and they can return after 5 p.m.

With seal coating, this requires drying time of 24 hours.
When this occurs, we hire private security to patrol the roads around us (which is where the residents must park, as they are not allowed in the complex until the sealant dries) during the overnight hours.

It's an inconvenience.
However, it's something that has to be done.
The alternative is the roads not being maintained which can place the Association at a higher risk if anything happens.

We haven't paved yet but have sealcoated. We do half the roads at a time and tell everybody they need to park on the other half while their helf is being done.

We've never done major street repairs in the time I've lived in my HOA, but we have sealcoated the driveways several times. When that's happened, we've tried to stagger the days on which the work was done as much as possible (weather permitting), and we allow residents to use street/guest parking until driveways can be driven on.

I imagine we would do something similar for large-scale street repairs too when that day eventually comes, where we would let people park somewhere that would still allow them to get in and out of the complex, even if they had to walk a little bit.

To the OP -- is it necessary to do all of the streets at once? Could the work be staggered over different time periods?

I believe Alex (the OP) is against the project for more than a simple parking issue. The parking issue is a Red Herring.

Red Herring, Per Merriam-Webster:

[from the practice of drawing a red herring across a trail to confuse hunting dogs]
: something that distracts attention from the real issue

And I bet that type of thinking is why Alex's community now finds itself having to do all of the roads at once. Everyone wants maintenance, but only if it's convenient and cheap for them. Sorry, but life doesn't always work that way...
