Entering Work Descriptions
Work Summary and Locations Screen
This Work Summary and Locations screen is used to add comments that describe the work to be completed, enter or edit locations of the work, and apply standard descriptions. There is no limit on the number of work units that can be entered on one application but all must be in the same district, county, and municipality.
A work description is required before a response can be posted to conditionally approve an application, issue a permit, issue a supplement, or issue a license.
For Traffic Signal applications, the Comment field is used to describe work. Comments cannot be entered and saved without entering a Signal Id. Please contact your district traffic unit for assistance.
