Partial Roadway Paving Enhancements Scheduled beginning week of April 22

Beginning April 22, weather permitting, the City's contractor, EJ Paving, will be performing partial roadway grinding and paving operations to enhance the road conditions on several sections of streets around the City. The Roadway grinding operation at each location is expected to take two days followed by paving of the roadway later that same week, or the following week, weather permitting.
