2nd St. Gets Underway & 3rd St. Gets Electric

Before we get into specifics, we want to remind everyone that changes happen on a day to day basis...sometimes even hourly. At times there is a need to do a spot street, sidewalk or street closure. There is a ton of working going on in rather small spaces and it can get tricky to fit everything in at times. We will do our best to get you all the information in advance so you can be prepared.

Here is what’s happening this week:

2nd St. –



Things got rolling last week starting with the removal of the curb along the sidewalk. The fence was installed to protect pedestrians and signs went up to help guide shoppers and customers to the businesses. This week we will be putting in the new curb as follows - first they will pin the design, then lay out the forms, and then pour the curb. Weather pending, we hope to see this work done by Friday or the first part of next week.

Once the curb is in place we will begin to do under drain, lay the conduit for electrical and remove the inside portion of the sidewalk.

Everyone on 2nd Street has been great - especially with the start of the Farmers Market which was a big success last week.

3rd St. –

West side:


Under drain is in.
Electric is in.
Curbs are in.
We will be working on the installing the light pole bases. Next comes the pouring of the sidewalk and downs!

East side:
Today we will continue with the removal of remaining sidewalk.
Then we will run electrical conduit and begin to do the under drain.

We hope to report soon about the grading and repaving of the street itself!

BIG thanks to Lauren Woods, NB&T, Boone and Johnson along with ALL the business owners on 3rd. This has been a tough few weeks and we can’t thank you enough for your great attitude and support.

A few other important notes –
The pedestrian pass thru will go to bid next week. Documents can be picked up at the City Engineering Department.
