Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians are encouraged to plan ahead and consider alternate routes, especially during peak traffic times. The City highlights the need for community support of local businesses affected by the construction. Current obstruction information is accessible on the City’s construction webpage, ensuring residents stay informed.
