Starting in late October and continuing through December, several important safety improvements will be installed at the A Avenue/5th Street pedestrian crosswalk in downtown.
During construction, the traveling public should expect some lane reductions and traffic shifts on A Avenue near 5th Street to accommodate the work. The crosswalk will be closed and pedestrians will need to detour to the 4th Street/A Avenue crossing. There may also be some temporary parking restrictions in place near the crosswalk.
To help reduce localized flooding and help keep storm drains flowing at peak performance, the City encourages residents to clear leaves and other debris from storm drains near their property. A quick sweep with a broom or rake will easily clear off a catch basin and keep our drainage systems flowing properly. Remember, never remove a storm drain cover or attempt to clean a drain located in a busy street.
Put leaves and other yard debris in your yard waste bins for easy removal and recycling. Do not put leaves onto the street.
