What’s New
We’ve added a new feature to the West Avenue Neighborhood Enhancements Project Phase II page on the City’s website!
You’ll now find a Two-Week Look Aheads tab that will be updated regularly with a project schedule provided by the contractor. This schedule outlines both ongoing and upcoming construction activities planned over the next two weeks, including where crews will be working and what type of work to expect. It’s a great way to stay informed about what’s happening near your home or business — and to plan ahead accordingly.
While you're there, be sure to visit the Most Recent Updates tab to watch a recent project video featuring progress at the pump station and outfall site. Thanks for staying connected!
Save the date! Virtual public meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
