Traffic Impacts
With asphalt removal starting this week on 3rd Ave., between Railroad and Evans, no on-street parking will be accommodated for this area until the project is complete. There may also be some short delays with access to the Post Office while crews work in this area; we suggest parking on Railroad to access the post office. One way traffic pattern will be in place along the curve at 4th and Evans. Traffic will only be allowed to travel west/north along the curve between Park Ave to the end of the curve later this week. This is to allow safe travel through this narrow section until asphalt and striping are complete. Please adhere to the traffic signage.

As a continued reminder, this is an active construction zone and please stay out of the roadway when work is occurring, especially children!

Safety tip! – There are open trenches as new storm drain and waterlines are being installed. Please stay clear from the edge of the trenches as there is a fall hazard as well as the sides of the trench can cave in.

Algae blooms near ponds

Keep people and pets out of slow-moving water where algae may be present
