Downtown Parking and Traffic During Construction

Temp No Parking Signs will be posted around the construction area to allow the contractor to demo, remove, off-haul the existing sidewalks, and pour new concrete sidewalks.

Depending on the construction impacts on parking, free parking signs will be posted at some locations on Throckmorton Avenue and on Miller Ave. 2 Hour Max time limit shall still be observed.
There will be occasions for traffic detour, lane closure, and one-way traffic control with flagmen.
