Bridge from City Hall to Picnic Park Closed for Rehab Work
Work on the bridge from City Hall to Picnic Park is underway and should last for approximately four weeks, weather permitting. Access to and from the City Hall area to the park is still available using the multi-use path along Willowbend Road.
Update on Street Paving
We received several calls and e-mails, particularly from neighborhoods where the streets are undergoing a full-depth reclamation (FDR), in other words, the street has been removed down to the dirt. Once that has been done, a cure time to reach the required strength is needed that can take up to seven days. Watering the dirt road is part of the curing process. Paving continues this week, weather permitting. 
Water Quality/ Stormwater Tip:
Pet Waste
Did you know that a single gram of pet waste contains an average of 23 million fecal coliform bacteria? When it rains, stormwater runoff carries the waste material and bacteria into out creeks and lakes where it can create a health hazard. The City reminds all pet owners to please pick up after your pet and prevent your pet’s waste from contributing to water pollution.
