Sidewalk, curb, gutter, and driveway work continues
Crews are continuing to work on sidewalk, curb, gutter, driveway, and street improvements, including pouring and curing concrete. Please note that all concrete work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may adjust if inclement weather, such as cold or wet conditions, is forecasted.
We will make every effort to maintain access to driveways. If any closures are necessary for upgrades, property owners will be notified in advance. We appreciate your patience as our team continues to make progress on this project.
Temporary crosswalks and access points will be provided as needed until the full sidewalk installation is completed.
Please follow all pedestrian and traffic controls as work progresses.
