A heads up for anyone visiting City Hall tomorrow: the parking lot entrance from E Poinsett St.(side with roundabout entrance) will be closed for the majority of the day. Public Services will have a crane parked there removing a tree limb that has fallen near the train tracks. That side of the parking lot will reopen as soon as the crew can remove the limb. Please plan on using the Line St. side entrance for parking until the limb has been removed.

Just a heads up for anyone heading to City Park tomorrow: the swing arbors will be repaired starting tomorrow morning at around 7:30 AM. During the repair, there will be barricades blocking off the entire area. These barricades will begin on each side of the smaller fountain and wrap around the backside of the swing arbor and along the brick wall behind the arbor. You will still be able to access the sidewalk to walk around the fountain and swing arbor (you just won't be able to walk through the middle.) We will keep you updated and let you know when the swing arbor repairs are finished!
