๐Ÿšง Napawalla Park Road Repair Underway! ๐Ÿšง


Oxford News

If you’ve driven through Napawalla Park recently, you may have noticed a growing dip in the road. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Weeks of heavy and frequent rainfall have taken a toll, washing away gravel and dirt and making the dip worse over time.

This week, our hardworking Maintenance Crew ๐Ÿ’ช was out in the heat ๐ŸŒž tackling the issue. They laid down a solid layer of AB3 base rock ๐Ÿชจ—a durable material that creates a compact and stable foundation for future repairs.

A more permanent fix is in the works and is currently planned for this fall ๐Ÿ‚. As with many outdoor projects, the schedule will depend on the weather, but we’ll keep you posted as plans move forward! ๐Ÿ“…

๐Ÿ‘ Big thanks to our crew for keeping things safe, smooth, and moving forward!

๐Ÿšง Safety Update: New Signs on Sumner Street! ๐Ÿšง


Oxford News

 

This week, our hardworking Oxford Maintenance Crew was out in the summer heat getting an important job done—installing Yield Signs at every cross intersection along Sumner Street.

While some intersections already had Stop or Yield signs in place, this project ensures that now every single intersection on Sumner Street has proper signage. It’s all part of our continued effort to improve traffic safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike.

Please be sure to watch for the new signs and stop or yield appropriately as you travel through the area. A little extra caution goes a long way in keeping our community safe.

๐Ÿ‘ A big thank you to our Maintenance Crew for getting the job done quickly and efficiently—even in the heat!
