Driveways that were impacted by curb replacement work will be addressed at that

subdivision, starting in the north sections. If you have any concerns

– The curb replacement work at the entrance to Creekside has been
completed. Milling on Hanlon and Guerin is scheduled to start in early
October, with grading and paving to follow shortly thereafter. Bump signs
have been installed on Guerin Road where the pavement over the culvert just
east of Hanlon has settled. The contractor will patch the pavement
in that area as part of the work in this area, with a permanent fix planned for
next construction season.
Thank you for your patience during construction & continuing to keep vehicle speeds down through the construction zones for
