West Main Street Extension Project
There has been some great progress on the West Main Street Project and the contractor is working quickly to get as much completed as possible before the winter shutdown. The 2-way street is open for traffic as of Wednesday, 11/25/2020, with a short list of items that will need to be completed in the spring due to cold weather impacts. Currently this list includes trees and plantings along the road, final top coat of pavement, some sidewalk sections, and the final center section of the roundabout. We are excited about this transformational project that will restore the historic streetscape, and appreciate the patience of residents and business owners as we go through the construction phase. Construction for Phase 1 of the new buildings will begin in Spring 2021 on the North end of the extension. Walk our new extended sidewalks and Stroll the Village to Support Local!

What do you need to know about roundabouts?
- You do not need to come to a complete stop. Just slow down and yield to traffic coming around along with pedestrians - you only turn right and follow the circle until you come to the street you would like to turn down. do not turn left - Large trucks & emergency vehicles are able to drive through the middle *this is considered a mini roundabout* |
