Prospect Avenue is expected to remain open to through traffic while construction is occurring. In the area of construction, traffic control will be in place to assist in safely directing vehicles. Residences in the immediate area of construction will be able to access driveways/garages throughout the day.

Once complete, the project will be installed for approximately three months and the community will be invited to provide feedback on the different elements.
