I truly don't know how some people function in the world.

I think you should probably just move. There isn't any other solution.

I do this type of work. You should have received contact info. See if there is an email updates list. Call or email the project contact, probably a public engagement coordinator, to discuss any needs you have related to important deliveries etc. They may be able to work with you. After all, these projects need to account for residents who are ill, elderly, mobility issues, people moving houses. I’ve had residents doing home hospice on my projects. Everyone had their own needs. Odds are that your phase of the project will wrap up more quickly than the overall timeline you were given.

That sounds really inconvenient.
Here is a suggestion: Stock up on stuff for your home that will keep for a while so you will need to make less grocery runs while the work is being done. Like stock up on toilet paper, laundry soap, dog food, coffee, shampoo, canned goods, etc. That would not completely eliminate the need to pick up groceries, but it would be less stuff you would need to lug from some parking lot 2 blocks away to your home while the work is being done.

Just lease a nearby Airbnb for the month. That way you can check in on your house so that workers don't steal anything.

I doubt you need a cart for groceries - just make a few trips or enlist family members to help you unload the car.

And just pick up takeout if needed or stock up on frozen pizza. it will be over before you know it.

For those who think this is no big deal, do you have street parking or an open parking lot near your neighborhood? I'm not OP, but the closest potential parking to my house outside of my neighborhood is half a mile away. I am not even sure I would be allowed to park there overnight. The closest bus stop is a mile away. That's more than a little inconvenient when you're used to having a car all the time. Could I figure it out on my own? Sure. Would I check with other people to see what was helpful for them? Absolutely.

This is why I will never buy a house in the suburbs.
