We have installed the signs that are needed to accomplish the "DO NOT ENTER" condition on Old Smithfield Road, weekdays from 3 pm to 7 pm, but have them covered to allow the motoring public to take notice.  Our police department mobile message board is in use in school zones this week, but will be deployed this weekend to advise that the new traffic restriction with associated enforcement will take effect on Monday, September 11.  

***************************************************************


All Town Offices will be closed on Monday, September 4th, 2017 in observance of the Labor Day holiday. 

No trash collection will take place on Monday, September 4th.  Tuesday through Friday collections will be postponed one day for the rest of the week. 
Saturday September 2 nd , the  Highway Garage will be open regular hours from 9 am - 3 pm.


Have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day Weekend!
