Lights & Sidewalks on B Avenue:

We should have the North side of B Avenue sidewalks completed in the next few hours. As well we are installing lighting on it as well as the concrete strength permits. This afternoon we'll be starting the 2' banding on the South side between those businesses that have purchased "heated sidewalks". The goal is to pour the same areas on Thursday with sidewalks. From that point we'll be pouring the remaining bump outs on B and 4th and the last one on B and 5th.

You'll notice that we are removing some concrete in the street on B Avenue around the intake grates. This is due to what they call a "Birdbath" effect where water pools. While this is not uncommon it does need to be fixed and we're trying to handle it now as opposed to next spring.

Sidewalks & Bump Outs:

We had a very good week with getting 5th street sidewalks poured and opened up. This week we are going to work towards getting some of the bump outs completed and getting the North side of B Avenue ready for banding and sidewalks. As well on Sunday we had LL Pelling in town to stripe the majority of the downtown. We'll be completing the East side of B Avenue beginning at 10:00 Monday.

  • Bump outs on 5th Street will be completed.
  • Pouring of the intersection of 4th and B Avenue will be completed with the goal of having it opened up and ready for traffic on Friday
  • Installation of remainder of street lights on 5th Street.
  • Removal of sidewalks on the North side of B Avenue.
  • We are working on getting our first round of quilt blocks in early next week with the hopes of starting the installation process.
Thanks again for everyone's patience and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
