A reminder to our followers. Contractors have begun the street repair project on Winfield Ave.

A reminder to residents and motorists that construction crews are expected to move into the Winfield Avenue project area today and begin Stage One of the street improvement project.

Winfield Avenue is closed from Broadway Street to Main Street as crews begin roadway removal and stormwater intake improvements.

Work is also expected to begin on the Grand Avenue trail segment between Baker Street and Winfield Avenue.

Please use caution when traveling near the construction zone, obey all posted traffic control signs, and allow extra time when traveling through the area.

We appreciate everyone's patience as these important infrastructure improvements get underway.
