Sidewalk Pouring & 5th & Hwy 22:

We'll begin pouring of the stamped and colored sidewalks today at 10:00. The delays that we've seen have been 100% due to the high winds. The process as you'll see is that the colored concrete is poured and a powdered release agent is thrown on it to give it the desired look, from that point the concrete banding is stamped. This release agent is in essence black and with the high winds would have been difficult not only to apply but to keep the businesses clean.

Today we are starting the removal of the downtown gateway entrance signs on 5th street and Highway 22. The removal will be done on both the North and South sides of 22 and will be projected to be poured back on Monday, November 1st. The pouring will be done in "M" mix which will allow for the street to be opened up 24 hours after pouring.
