• Replacing the existing signal systems at Fern St., Dellwood St., Main St., and Fillmore St.
• Replacing the Railroad crossing surface
• Replacing the decorative lighting system in the downtown area
• Reconstructing TH 95 from 3-lanes to 4-lanes with a center median from Main Street to Fillmore Street to match the existing 4-lane section on the east side of the City
• Relocating the existing train switch for Federated Propane to the south end, to reduce trail crossing delays on TH 95 – Will be completed in 2027
• Relocating and installing some new streetlights outside of the downtown area for a uniform system.

Access:  In general, the Contractor will provide access to all properties during construction. When pipe and curb installation is done directly in front of a property, then driveway access will not be possible.  The Contractor will provide advance notice of this, and temporary parking arrangements will be reviewed.
