CENTRAL STREET COBBLESTONE WORK
The next phase of the cobblestone project on Central Street from Market St. to Appleton St. is on schedule for Tuesday, October 11th at 8:00 p.m.
This will be an overnight project.
The work to be performed is the milling of the top surface of asphalt. This will provide a smooth, level base for the top coat of asphalt to be placed later. Signage and police details will be on site to assist with traffic flow.
At this time, the forecast appears to be favorable for this task. The next activity will be paving the area. The paving is currently scheduled for the morning of Saturday, October 22nd. The paving is weather dependent so we will keep you apprised of any changes to this activity.
In between the milling and the paving, the structures will be raised in this area. While we will be taking action to minimize the impacts, drivers are reminded that this is an active construction zone and caution should be taken.
The Parking Dept. will be placing bags on the meters/space numbers. In order to shorten the duration of the project, the work will be conducted during the day and some nights. We will try to balance the work load to minimize the impact.
As with any construction project, there is the expectation that the short-term disruption and inconvenience will result in the long-term benefit of improved travel conditions for both vehicles and pedestrians.
We know how important a smooth driving surface is to all who use our downtown and this project is a big step towards providing that. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this project.
