🚧 Improvements Coming to River Road

What's Being Done:
Complete road resurfacing
Enhanced bicycle lanes with protective concrete barriers
New safety features including high-visibility crosswalks, improved traffic signals, and dedicated turn lanes
Updated curb ramps at intersections
The project is estimated to take 180 days to complete. We’ll be keeping our eyes on this and share updates!
