Surface Project 4006 includes the replacement of damaged sidewalks, curb & gutters, storm water inlets & pipes, ADA ramps at corners, and street pavement.

Citizens are encouraged to stop by any time during these hours and view the plans of the upcoming project. City engineers and representatives of Dalton-Killinger Construction, the project contractor, will be available during the meeting to share details and answer questions from those attending.

This is the fourth of six similar projects in the recovery area that focuses on repairing damaged public infrastructure in residential areas. Work will occur from April 2018 to April 2019 with any roadway work being suspended between the months of November thru February.
