Coming Soon.....Road Construction

It wouldn't seem like spring/summer if we didn't encounter road work in and around the City. With the warm weather upon us (totallly weird, but hard not to enjoy), the Board of Public Works is beginning to alert us to traffic due to new or continuing projects. Here are two that you might encounter as you are driving around town:
