The open house will provide additional information about elements of the project, including:
- Mill and overlay of existing surfaces and base repairs where required
- Concrete pavement repair
- Removal and replacement of asphalt paving
- Curb and curb ramp replacements
- Inlet top replacements
- Installation of a pedestrian crossing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon
