Additional Notes:
Traffic: The construction area is closed to through-traffic and is open to local-traffic only. A police presence will be in place periodically on Gorton Avenue and fines may be issued to traffic violators.
Garbage/Recycling: Residents are asked to label their garbage and recycling bins by writing their house number on a piece of tape and attaching it to their bins. Place the bins near the street on pick-up days and the contractor will move them as needed for pick-up.
