Exira Residents & Washington Street Property Owners,

 

As we near the completion of the Washington Street improvement project we wanted to first thank you for your patience through all the construction. We wanted to make you aware of some major changes with as much notice as possible. Originally, we were not planning on closing Washington Street completely, but due to the project timeline and safety concerns this will now be necessary. Please note the following is not a definitive timeline and we ask that you pay attention to Facebook, the city website, electronic sign in the park, and notices from the contractors/engineer.

 

October 25-October 31st:

• Eastside Drive storm sewer work to be completed

• Jefferson Street storm sewer repair to be completed

• Concrete put in place where service line connections & mains were repaired

• Remaining curb, gutter, and sidewalk work will continue

 

November 3-7th

• Remaining curb, gutter, and sidewalk work will continue

• Milling and asphalt paving of Washington Street from Carthage to Eastside Drive. The plan is to close Washington Street completely from Carthage to Edgerton street, complete the work in that section, then close Washington Street from Edgerton to Eastside Drive and complete work there. This will mean no parking or access along Washington Street during this time. Blacktop Services anticipates completing the work during this week-long timeframe but may be limited by weather/temperature or completion of other work.

 

Please contact the clerk’s office with any questions or concerns.
