Construction started August 5th and should be complete the end of October. The contractor started work at the intersection of 17th / SW Spring Garden and is moving toward SW Taylors Ferry Road. Neighborhood residents have been notified of the work and will be notified again once work will occur directly in front of their home.

Maplewood Road  needs to have the speed bumps extended onto the shoulder. PBOT is not going to put a center strip down.
