So August brought a lot of rain which really slowed up our road
construction. More than one parent has called concerned about school
routes tomorrow especially in the SE. 6 Ave Sw is complete and the road
is finished. 2nd Ave NW in front of Plaza 2000 is open and although a
few items need to still be completed will be open for traffic tomorrow.
The SE is a little more tricky. By tomorrow morning we are
planning to have 6 Ave SE open from 6st (East Side Convenience Store)
all the way to Highway 88. Parents will still need to use Highway 88
for a few days so leave a little early. 6 Ave SE from Main street and
across the bridge will be open FOR BUSSES ONLY. This should help move
traffic tomorrow and get things moving along. We are still expecting to
have the majority of the work done and complete within the next couple
of weeks. 12 St SE underground work has been a big issue with so much
rain, but the crews are working hard to try and catch up.
A
reminder as well the bridge over CJ Schurter in the SE is still being
fixed and is not expected to be back in place until about the 12 of
September. Remember to leave a little early tomorrow, drive slow and
keep your eyes open. Lots of kids excited to get to school, hang out
with friends and show everybody their new sneakers. Keeping an eye out
for vehicles might not be at the top of the list so drive safe.
Thanks
to all for the patience but trying to fit 7 years of paving into one
has been a bit of an exercise in planning. I’m sure we are all looking
forward to it being complete!!
