Big things are happening at The Highlands! As Phase 7 takes shape, a few simple precautions can make a big difference. Here's what every neighbor should know to help keep our community safe while we grow.
Exciting things are happening at The Highlands! With Phase 7 underway, our neighborhood is growing, bringing new homes, new neighbors, and improvements that will benefit our community for years to come.
We know that living near an active construction site can bring a few temporary inconveniences. From additional traffic to the sounds of equipment at work, construction is part of the process of building something wonderful.
At UpDwell Homes (opens in new tab), the safety of our residents, families, and construction crews is a top priority. Here are a few simple ways we can work together to keep The Highlands a safe and welcoming place throughout construction.
1. Keep Children Away from Construction Areas
We love seeing kids outside riding bikes, playing with friends, and enjoying our neighborhood!
However, construction sites can be dangerous, even when workers aren't present. Open trenches, heavy equipment, building materials, and uneven ground can create unexpected hazards.
Please remind children that construction areas are off-limits, including evenings and weekends. Encourage them to stay on established sidewalks and in completed neighborhood areas.
2. Please Keep ATVs and Recreational Vehicles Off Construction Property
We understand that living in Grantsville means enjoying the outdoors, and recreational riding is a favorite pastime for many local families.
However, ATVs, dirt bikes, side-by-sides, and other recreational vehicles are not permitted on UpDwell-owned construction property, including vacant lots and undeveloped areas.
Even areas that appear open or unused may contain underground utilities, excavations, unstable soil, or other hidden hazards.
For everyone's safety, please enjoy recreational riding only in designated areas where it is legally permitted.
3. Watch for Construction Vehicles
As Phase 7 progresses (opens in new tab), you may notice additional trucks, deliveries, and heavy equipment traveling through the neighborhood.
Please use extra caution when driving, walking, or biking near active construction areas.
Give construction vehicles plenty of room, avoid their blind spots, and never attempt to pass equipment that is actively maneuvering.
A little extra patience helps protect our neighbors and the crews working to improve our community.
4. Respect Construction Signs and Barriers
Temporary fencing, cones, barricades, and construction signs are there for a reason.
Even if a homesite looks finished or a road appears accessible, there may be work happening that isn't immediately visible.
Please follow posted signs, respect temporary closures, and avoid entering restricted areas.
5. Keep Pets Safe and Secure
Curious pets can be especially attracted to new sights, sounds, and smells.
During construction, please keep dogs leashed when walking near active work areas and ensure pets remain safely within your property.
This helps protect your pets, construction workers, and other neighbors.
6. A Little Patience Goes a Long Way
Construction can occasionally bring dust, noise, temporary traffic changes, and unfamiliar activity.
We appreciate your understanding as our crews work to complete this next phase as safely and efficiently as possible.
If you notice an unsafe condition or have a construction-related concern, please reach out to the UpDwell Homes team (opens in new tab) rather than entering the work area yourself.
