Downtown Fenton Streetscape Update - November 5

Just a reminder that on Friday November 6, 2015, east and westbound Silver Lake Road at LeRoy St. will be closed for crosswalk installation. This closure will be until the morning of Tuesday November 10, 2015. Westbound traffic on Silver Lake Rd. can detour at Main St. and continue north on N. LeRoy and then continue west on North Rd. They can return to Silver Lake Rd. at either Adelaide or Poplar St. Eastbound traffic on Silver Lake Rd. can detour at either Poplar St. or Adelaide St. head east on North Rd. continue southbound on N. LeRoy to Main St. to continue on Silver Lake Rd.

The current closures on LeRoy Street (Mill between Ellen and Silver Lake Rd. between Second St) are scheduled to reopen on Friday evening. Friday there will be unimpeded north and south bound traffic on LeRoy.

The majority of the construction project will be completed next week. The only work that will remain is the continued sidewalk brick installation, tree planting and LED Light Installation. That will continue for the next few weeks.

Next Monday (weather permitting) the streets downtown will be swept and permanent pavement markers are planned to be placed on Wednesday. These will not affect traffic.

Thank you for your cooperation for the past eight months as this has been a trying project for everybody affected. I have done my best to keep everyone abreast of what is occurring downtown and the City has the done best they can to address the needs and concerns of those affected in the construction zone. The improvements in the Downtown District will be a positive impact for many decades to come.
