DOT Meeting THIS WEEK!!

If you thought the road construction was a temporary inconvenience, just WAIT!! I just got this postcard in the mail today.

This is a major project and it appears will be take a long time. How long, I don't know. That's what the meeting is about.

Thursday, September 4, 2025

Elmwood Fire Hall.

But it sounds we are going to get some improvements, shoulders to Hwy 1 maybe, improved lighting at Hwy 34 and Hwy 1

Attached is the formal DOT legal notice. It appears construction could begin as early as spring of 2027 with completion as early as fall of 2028

It's finished! The Mural is done!

If you haven't stopped by and checked out the mural, what are you waiting for?

The finished results are better than the conceptual idea. The green grass of the mural blends blends into a scene that magically rises from the ground. I'm just now waiting for an orangey fall sky .
