Main & Story Avenue Project
The Main & Story project is kicking off! Work began on Monday, March 3 at the intersection of Main Street and Story Avenue. The work is expected to be completed by June 27. The reconfiguration project will remove the center divider island and convert the intersection with curb bump outs and pedestrian crosswalks. The goal is to enhance traffic flow and safety. Please be cautious of potential changes in traffic patterns and pedestrian access. Allow for extra time during your commute. Learn more about this project.
The annual pothole blitz will kick off Thursday, March 6! We are seeing exponentially more potholes right now than we typically have in the past several years because of record breaking amounts of snow fall and freezing for an extended period this snow season. We are prioritizing filling pot holes on major roadways (high volume/high speed – like Shelbyville road and Dixie Hwy), roadways that have excessive potholes, and responding to potholes submitted to 311.
Please be vigilant when driving:
1. Stay Alert! Keep an eye on the road ahead and watch for potholes.
2. Maintain a Safe Distance. Leave enough space between you and the car ahead so you have time to react to potholes.
3. Slow Down! If you can’t avoid a pothole, reduce your speed before hitting it. Hitting a pothole at high speed increases the impact force.
4. Avoid Sudden Braking. Braking hard just before hitting a pothole can push the front of your car down, making the impact worse.
5. Keep Tires Properly Inflated. Underinflated or overinflated tires are more vulnerable to damage. Check your tire pressure regularly.
Report a pothole through Metro311. Choose "Pothole" and enter the address along with a description if needed.
