Paseo work continues 

Crews continue to work in the new paseos (parking lots on the east side of Highway 41 between 2nd and 3rd streets, 4th and 5th streets, and 5th Street and Highway 61). Over the next several weeks, bollards will be placed along the paseos, along with plantings and irrigation. This work is anticipated to conclude by late July. Check out a rendering of what one of the new lots will look like.
