The work includes removal of the existing material to reestablish a 10 foot wide compacted stone dust path. The two parking areas will also be reworked to provide a uniform grade and resurfaced with new stone dust.

The project is expected to begin on December 1^st and be completed in approximately two weeks, weather dependent.

The Town will have a uniformed police detail at the work site to assist users to cross the construction area, but please use caution along the path.
