Below is a summary of activities, and not to be considered all inclusive.
* ECI has reported that after the first 64 construction days the project is on schedule.
* Asphalt paving starting Friday morning (8/7/09) from Beaver to Kiowa (weather pending).  Following paving, Main Street will remain closed at Beaver to Kiowa due to the following:  continued paver installation west and east side; asphalt striping; regulatory sign install; decorative light pole install; cleaning flatwork; joint sealant; memorial plaque installation.
* Sidewalks are closed on the 200 block until the grey concrete walk is installed (by Tuesday); use rear entrances.
4.      Though the construction is coming along; it is important to obey all construction signage and barriers! People are starting to ignore the warning tape and barriers to wander through the roadway on the 300 block. Main Street is still a construction zone so please cross the street at designated areas!! The barriers will be removed when it is okay to access. It is still blocked off for various safety and construction reasons.
