This week crews continued sanitary sewer and water service work in Stage 1, and is expected to finish next week. As a reminder, water shutoffs may be necessary during this work. Properties will be notified in advance of any impacts. During the workday, crews will do their best to accommodate regular access.

Next week, crews plan to work on storm sewer, sidewalk removals and light and banner pole base installation in Stage 1. Access to front doors will be limited during this work. Areas will be restored with temporary walking mats when complete. During the workday, crews will do their best to accommodate regular access.

May 27, 2026

On Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29, crews will complete concrete maintenance work in the 2023 construction area (two blocks of Main Street and one block of Olive Street).

During this time, some parking stalls and sidewalk segments will be temporarily blocked. Pedestrians will be directed to alternate routes.

Once the work is completed, sidewalks and parking stalls will be restored to their original condition. However, any newly placed concrete will be marked off and remain closed for approximately 7 days to allow the concrete to harden.

The time and day of concrete work is subject to change due to weather or contractor scheduling changes. Properties will receive further notice if such changes occur. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding!
