Oh lovely, it’s that time of year again.

Our second season of ‘construction’ is upon us and that means road and lane closures for a while.

Although it’s great that rims won’t be damaged anymore, it does mean you’ll need to add a few more minutes to your commute.

The City says residential or business areas that will be affected by paving will receive hand-delivered notice from them in advance of work starting. In a release they say to ” keep an eye out for posted signs alerting you to parking bans, sidewalk closures and other short-term impacts.”
