Chesapeake Avenue Paving

Paving is continuing on Chesapeake Avenue this week. Starting tomorrow, April 27, 2017, Chesapeake Avenue from 1st Street to 3rd Street will be paved. This will continue through April 29, 2017. Please do NOT park on the shoulders of the road in this area. Thank you for your cooperation!

Also, keep in mind that this work is not just re-paving the road. It is a part of the CHESAPEAKE AVENUE STREETSCAPE project. Continue reading for more information on the project. The purpose of the Chesapeake Avenue Streetscape project is to improve the streetscape on the main street through town and also improve pedestrian safety. This project will give Chesapeake Avenue a more “Main Street” look. The total project includes construction of curbed islands for plantings, sidewalk reconstruction, fencing and new improvements to the Callis Park, milling and re-paving of Chesapeake Avenue from 1st Street to 7th Street to include the addition of new light poles with banners and the ability for decorative features and crosswalk improvements in this area. Work has begun and will be done in phases. Roadwork, including tree wells, is expected to be completed the beginning of May. New lights and plantings will follow. Work will be going on simultaneously at Callis Park.
