Reminder: Please Do Not Drive on the Sidewalks on Miller Avenue
There have been a number of instances where drivers are driving on the sidewalk along Miller Avenue to bypass other vehicles waiting at a stop sign. Please wait your turn to make a turn legally. This is a major safety issue for workers, pedestrians, and other drivers.
We understand that it may be difficult at times to navigate the construction zone. Please slow down, use caution, pay attention to cones and delineators, and do not drive on the sidewalks.
