Have you noticed something different about Winslow Way? Marshall Bishop, our street gardener, recently pressure-washed all of the sidewalk bricks along Winslow Way and the concrete benches outside of Blackbird Bakery. Thanks to Marshall, downtown is looking a little brighter!

Based upon concerns regarding the City's financial status, the Phase II Heery contract for design reconciliation and final engineering will be revised to reflect an anticipated construction start date of spring 2010, rather than spring 2009. The tasks outlined in the revised contract would effectively remain the same as the original, but the timeline will be re-ordered to reflect the new construction start date. Most importantly, business vitality planning would begin in January 2009 and continue until the project begins in the spring of 2010.
Over the coming weeks, the Council will be voting on whether to approve continuation of the project with the revised construction start date. Agendas for upcoming City Council meetings can be found on the City’s website.
