Many of you have expressed concerns about the condition of the railroad tracks at 60/83 and Diamond Lake Road.

The tracks will be raised and surface reinstalled with new asphalt. The bad news is the road will be closed for five consecutive days. I will let you know as soon as we get a definite confirmation.
