Microsurfacing work on Joplin city streets to begin next week

(From the City of Joplin)

The City’s micro-surfacing program for 2019 will begin next week. As micro-surfacing operations along city roads begin June 3, the City encourages citizens to watch for postings in their neighborhoods.

If your street will be affected by the micro-surfacing, the contractor, Vance Brothers, will notify residents along city streets with informational door hangers on their front doors. No parking signs will also be posted along both sides of the street, and at both ends of each block. These notifications should be completed within 48 hours prior to the work being started. It is important to ensure that vehicles are not parked on the posted streets until the surfacing work has been completed.

General area of work will include streets within the area of “F” Street to 16th Street from Main Street to Maiden Lane. Streets are selected based on the pavement’s condition. A map of the micro-surfacing area is posted on the City’s website for reference.

The first week of work will include the following streets, weather permitting.
North Jackson Avenue, from F Street to West 6th Street;
North Sergeant Avenue, from F Street to West 3rd Street;
North Pearl Avenue, from F Street to West 4th Street;
North Byers Avenue, from Glenview to West 6th Street;
North Moffet Avenue, from Glenview to West 6th Street;
South Moffet Avenue, from West 6th to West 16th Street.

The City will also post updates on its Facebook page and its website, www.joplinmo.org under Street Closure category. Please note work schedule may shift due to weather conditions. Completion of the micro-surfacing work is scheduled for the end of July, weather permitting.

The micro-surfacing project is funded by the Transportation Sales Tax.

Granby Police cracking down on disturbances at Dick Smith Park

(From the Granby Police Department)

Over the past several weeks, officers have been monitoring the activities at the park, and attempting to identify key persons involved in the amount of disturbances taking place.

In response to the ongoing disturbances, officers will be enforcing the ordinances necessary to quell the ongoing breaches of the peace, including the City’s “Disorderly Conduct” law. In an effort to ensure everyone is aware of what to expect, the ordinance reads as follows:

“Any person who, with intent to provoke a breach of the peace OR where a breach of the peace has been occasioned, commits the following act shall be deemed to have committed the offense of Disorderly Conduct:

1. Congregates with others on a public street and refuses to move on when ordered by the police.
2. Congregates with others on a public parking lot and refuses to move on when ordered by the police.”

Generally in ordinance when a “public street” is referenced, it refers to public access areas, such as parks, cemeteries, streets, sidewalks, and other areas owned by the City for public use, and not solely what is commonly recognized as a “street” in terms of vehicular traffic. 

Also, whether the persons ordered to leave are currently engaged in illegal activity or not is irrelevant with regards to the validity of the order to disperse, and refusing to obey the order will result in a citation and/or possible arrest.

Officers will be enforcing this ordinance to the level we feel is necessary to quell any further breaches of the peace at Dick Smith Park as well as other locations. 

We want our parks to be family-friendly, drug free areas and groups which we suspect are counter to that goal based on observations and interactions with law enforcement or on complaints which may come in, will be ordered to leave. We will continue active enforcement of this and other ordinances until such time as it has been determined that any further breaches of the peace have been quelled.

Repairs ordered for malfunctioning Carl Junction storm siren

(From the Carl Junction Police Department)

We did discover a malfunctioning storm siren near the High School. Yesterday was first day since the tornado that was clear enough to test. We have notified the company that services them and they will make the repairs soon.

Remember that storm sirens are to alert people outside and people in transit and may not be audible to people inside of residences. Please get a weather radio and stay alert to local weather conditions on local news.

In the event of a sounding of the sirens we will have police in the area and they will travel the neighborhoods with sirens on.

We are very committed to the safety of our residents and visitors, we hope for good weather until the repairs are made and we will do our best to insure that safety.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited tornado risk.
  Elevated hail risk.
  Elevated thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Elevated lightning risk.
  Limited non thunderstorm wind risk.

DISCUSSION...

Gusty southerly winds will occur this afternoon into tonight.
Gusts up to around 30 mph will be possible at times. The strongest
winds will be across extreme southeastern Kansas and the western
Ozarks.

Thunderstorms will develop and start to spread into extreme
southeastern Kansas and western Missouri late this afternoon into
this evening. The thunderstorms will then track east across the
area into the overnight hours. The main risks will be large hail
up to two inches in diameter and damaging winds gusting to around
70 mph. Low level wind shear will increase this evening into the
overnight hours and will also support an isolated tornado risk.

Cloud to ground lightning and heavy downpours will also occur
with the storms. Localized additional flooding will be possible
this evening and tonight, especially where storms track over areas
with already saturated grounds from the recent heavy rains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across a portion
of the area Wednesday morning. A few strong storms will be
possible.

Additional storms are expected to develop late Wednesday morning
into the evening hours. Strong to severe storms are once again
expected as instability increases. Large hail and damaging winds
gusts will be the main risks along with heavy rainfall and the
potential for additional flooding.

Additional chances for storms will return late Friday night and
into the weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed later this evening across
extreme southeastern Kansas and western Missouri.
