The Downtown Reimagined Weekly Dispatch – November 13, 2026

Progress continues on Downtown Reimagined as crews wrap up important infrastructure upgrades and prepare for overnight paving.

All remaining sanitary service replacements on Mountain Street were completed on November 11, followed by paving, cleaning and restoration work. Watermain commissioning also began this week on Mountain Street, Christie Street and Main Street West.

Upcoming Construction and Road Closures

Overnight paving: November 15 and 16

Crews are scheduled to complete overnight paving at the following intersections:

• Elm Street and Mountain Street: Sunday, November 15
• Christie Street and Mountain Street: Beginning Sunday night, if time permits, and continuing Monday, November 16

Intersections will close one at a time between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. the following morning.

Mountain Street Closure

Mountain Street, between Elm Street and Main Street, will remain closed to through traffic, with the existing detour in place. Weather permitting, the road is expected to reopen by mid-next week, following paving.

Watermain Connections

Pending satisfactory water sample results, crews are expected to begin connecting the new watermain to the existing system at Rossmore Avenue and Robinson Street early next week. Connections to individual properties along Rossmore Avenue and Main Street East will follow.

Residents and motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and follow posted traffic signage.
