Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region
- Long-term projects: Construction is happening on 36th Street between Main Street and Commercial Avenue as part of the GO Bond Street Repair Project. Work started the week of April 27 and is expected to finish by September 30. Local residents can still get to their homes, but there will be temporary lane and driveway closures, and some areas will have no parking. You may notice changes to travel routes, construction noise, dust, and heavy equipment. Advance notice will be given before any closures.
