ROAD CLOSURE for CROSSWALK REPAIRS
October 6 - October 10 (weather permitting)
Downtown: 51 Street from 51 Ave to 52 Ave

We will be replacing the three cobblestone crosswalks in the downtown area on 51 Street from 51 Ave to 52 Ave. Some of the cobblestones have come loose creating tripping hazards for pedestrians and potholes for vehicles. Using our own internal staff, we will be removing the cobblestones and replacing it with decorative stamped concrete to maximize the longevity of the repair while maintaining the look of our downtown area. This approach ensures considerable savings on the repairs!

While this work is taking place, the road will be closed to vehicle traffic.
Sidewalk access to businesses and shops will remain open to pedestrian traffic - we encourage you to use the parking lot to the west of the downtown area.

Please exercise caution around the construction zone and follow any posted signage or instructions from workers.
Noise & Dust: There may be some unavoidable noise, vibration, and dust as part of the work.
Waste Collection: Garbage and recycling services will continue as usual. If needed, our contractor will assist with moving bins to an accessible pickup location.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve our community’s infrastructure.
