Updated 08/20/24

Aggregate base material is expected to be completed on Maple Drive on August 20th. After this is complete, vehicles are allowed to park on Maple Drive overnight, but must be moved by 7am. If the contractor is not able to contact the owner of any vehicle left on the street after 7am, the vehicle will be towed to the school parking lot until school has resumed, after which any towed vehicle will be retrievable from the designated parking areas on 5^th Avenue or 1^st Street.

Curb and gutter installation on Maple Drive is expected to be completed by August 30^th. After the curb and gutter is completed, the contractor will be working on replacing concrete driveways. Installation of asphalt pavement on Maple Drive is estimated to be completed in the first week of September.

Replacement of the lift station west of City Hall is estimated to begin on August 26^th. Please refrain from parking on the west side of County Road 11 when this work is scheduled to begin.

Request from School: Please remove vehicles from the school parking lot in preparation for school to resume on August 21.

Notices from the Contractor:

A temporary mailbox cluster has been installed on 1^st Street, just east of the Maple Drive intersection. Beginning Saturday, July 13, Maple Drive residents will need to collect their mail from these boxes. Each house will have a mailbox with their house number on it.
Please ensure that your garbage cans are set out the evening before garbage collection day. Many cans have been set out late on garbage day, which risks your garbage not being picked up.
Please ensure that sump pump discharge lines are not draining to the street. If possible, reroute above ground hoses away from Maple Drive, or use sewer connections if available until construction is complete.
