Every permit required by section 5-2-141 shall expire at the end of the period of time which shall be set out in the permit.
If the permittee shall be unable to complete the work within the specified time, provided
the work was commenced prior to the expiration of time, he shall, prior to expiration
of the permit, present in writing to the director of transportation and environmental
services a request for an extension of time, setting forth therein the reasons for
the requested extension. The director of transportation and environmental services
may for good cause shown grant an extension of time in writing. If the permit expires
before the actual work commences, it shall be necessary to make application for and
be issued a new permit. It shall be unlawful for any person to dig up, break, excavate,
tunnel or undermine any street when a permit has expired. (Code 1963, Sec. 33-97)
