PROJECT ONGOING AS SCHEDULED
Location: Agua Fria/South Meadows
Contractor: EMCO
Description: The Public Works Department is constructing the Agua Fria/South Meadows Intersection Improvements Project. The project includes adding turning bays on Agua Fria and South Meadows, as well as improving the traffic signals, sidewalks, and ADA ramps. Two lanes of travel will remain open for Agua Fria (west/east) and one lane of travel for South Meadows (north/south). Traffic delays are expected; consider using alternate routes whenever possible.
Although most of the roadway work is complete, the new traffic signals have not yet been installed. Delivery of the signal equipment has been delayed due to tariffs and supply chain issues, and we have not yet received a delivery date from the manufacturer. Instead of the traffic signals, 4-way stop signs have been installed. Please adhere to all 4-way stop traffic regulations.

PROJECT ONGOING AS SCHEDULED
Location: 206 Mckenzie St

Description: True North Builders LLC is remodeling the house at 206 Mckenzie St. Due to the small area, the road must be closed, and the building must be demolished safely. All detours will be set up through the end of September 2025. The area will need to be fenced off from the public. All utilities and the curb in front of the property will be redone. They are in the final stages of completing the project. They are in the process of applying stucco to the outside of the building and preparing to repair the sidewalk/ADA ramp, curb, and gutter. Once completed, they will move the fence over to the sidewalk to open the road. We are sorry for the inconvenience. This is for the safety of the public.
