Rakow Road Work Continues

The utilities completed their relocations and work resumes on Monday, February 27th!  Expect to see the storm sewer crews digging on the southern end of the project.  Those crews will proceed to the north and complete some additional installations at the intersections. 

The contractor’s crews will resume work on the side streets on Monday, March 5th.  Motorists will see some tighter turns as the crews remove some additional pavement to start the construction of the future westbound lanes and the cross streets.  Please use extra caution and be sure to stop at the stop bars before moving into the intersections - a few seconds delay to survey the turns will help traffic flow smoothly. 

You may have seen some issues at the Rakow and Pingree signals over the past week.  The  source of the problems was discovered!  A family of mice decided to make their home in the warm and cozy signal controller box.  They were released into the wild, their entrance was blocked off with expandable foam and the traffic signals are back to normal.

Note from the mice:
Gee wiz guys, we just wanted to be warm and away from those danged cats!
