The ADA Barrier Removal Project focuses on replacing non-compliant curb ramps and damaged sidewalks along 228th Avenue Southeast, with completion expected by September 18. Throughout July and August, the city will also conduct maintenance work on road striping and thermoplastic markings, which include arrows and bike symbols. This maintenance aims to refresh existing road markings, and drivers are advised to expect delays. A groundbreaking ceremony for the Louis Thompson Tightline Project is set for August 29 at Ebright Park, inviting community involvement.

Additionally, crews are repainting traffic signal and street light poles on Southeast 30th Street, with flaggers directing traffic during night work hours to ensure safety. Road maintenance will also be taking place on 244th Avenue Northeast due to a previous slide, resulting in full closure and detour plans until mid-August. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead as these projects may lead to extended travel times and delays.
