The sidewalk and traffic calming layout remains as previously presented to the public. Concrete sidewalks will be installed only on the north side of shrub road. In order to reduce speeds, travel lanes will be reduced to 10 ft., and painted 4 ft wide islands will be installed in the areas of Environmental Learning Center and in the area of the Shrub Road intersection with Oakhill Drive.

The Department of Public Works apologizes for any inconvenience the project delay may cause.  

Residents with questions on the project are encouraged to contact the Department of Public Works at 860-584-6113.
