5PM Jackson St. Corridor Open House
The City is working on a redesign plan for the Jackson St. Corridor. They anticipate that several of the buildings east of Washington Avenue will be redeveloped "in the near future."
They held a first open house on March 25. At that time, they presented two design alternatives. Both showed more trees and wider sidewalks. One proposed reducing the number of parking spots from 82 to 40. The other proposed reducing parking spots from 82 to 29.
Tonight, they will unveil the final recommendations.

Spring Yard Waste Collection
For residents who participate in the City’s Pay as You Throw (PAYT) residential waste collection program, the semi-annual spring and fall yard waste collection are a great time to clean up and compost extra materials.
- Yard waste should be placed at or near where your trash is collected by 7 a.m. on your weekly service day.
- Material may be placed in reusable containers of your choice or in compostable bags available for purchase at home improvement or grocery stores.
- Yard waste for this collection includes grass clippings, pine needles, leaves, weeds, branches, sawdust, ground and chipped wood.
