FRANKLIN & BIRCH ROUNDABOUT PROGRESS

Great progress has been made by the hard-working crews who have finished the majority of the excavation of the project. Remaining excavation will be completed when private utility crews are finished relocating private utilities.

During the next couple of weeks, they will begin the installation of new storm drain facilities, gravity irrigation systems, new domestic water and pressurized irrigation valves. Pole foundations will be poured for flashing crosswalk lights and new light poles. Private overhead utilities will be relocated underground.

Thank you for the patience from the community and the businesses located in the area. Just a reminder the local businesses are still currently open through construction! The crews are working hard to get this project completed as soon as possible. For additional questions, call (208) 565-5262 or email projects@cityofnampa.us.

STORMWATER COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP DAY

Volunteers Needed!

The City of Nampa’s Environmental Compliance Division invites the community to participate in the 11th Annual Stormwater Clean-up Day on Saturday, October 1, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Volunteers will meet at West Park, located at 27 S Park Dr, at 9 a.m. for pastries and coffee, and receive a brief lesson on ways to keep our waterways clean before heading out to clean storm drains which lead to our local waterways. The morning will include picking up litter in surrounding neighborhoods and local waterways and marking storm drains with decals to promote keeping our storm drains clean of debris. The day will end with a lunch donated by Walmart.

The City of Nampa encourages volunteers and teams of all ages. All materials needed for the cleanup will be provided by the City of Nampa’s Environmental Compliance Division.
