Next Week Look Ahead
SD Ireland will work on placing granite weirs inside the rain gardens between Main and King. They will also start to clean up the road and may start placing benches between Main and King.

Granite State will be onsite Monday through Wednesday (7/29-7/31) to place the granite curb between King and Maple and in the Maple St intersection.
Possible Impacts
The sidewalk between Main and King should be open throughout the week. The east sidewalk between King and Maple will be closed to through pedestrian traffic for part of the week.
The Stratos garage will be accessible from Maple St (both entrance and exit) for the start of Monday but may have to switch back and forth while the granite curb is being installed.
The Maple St intersection will be closed Tuesday (7/30) and Wednesday (7/31).
** Work is still ongoing between Main St and King St and may not require the same number of workers or equipment has been onsite previously. You may notice less immediate activity on that block at times.
