On Monday, July 18, the city approved the widening of Yankee Valley Blvd. from Bayside Blvd. to 24 Street.

Mayor Peter Brown said construction will begin at the beginning of August and suggests using alternate routes during construction.

The widening of 8 St. from Yankee Valley Blvd. to Hillcrest Way was previously approved and construction will get underway before the end of July.

The city is currently working to approve road rehab which is slated to be approved by early next week.

When construction begins, Brown said to be aware of the workers and to really slow down.

"Just make sure there is someone standing on the curb and that's somebodies son or daughter, or father or mother, and we want to make sure their safe when they're working."
