There will be parking restrictions in place to complete the work. Temporary ‘No Parking’ signs will be posted in advance of each scheduled activity. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling around the work areas.

The milling/utility box adjustment work is being completed by James J. Anderson Construction Co, Inc. The project is being financed with 100% City Capital Budget funds.

The Streets Department thanks the citizens in advance for their patience and cooperation during this project.
