Old Lynchburg Road Safety, Sidewalks and Drainage Update

From City Engineer Tony Edwards:

"a majority of the new trees were planted prior to the beginning of the holidays. The remaining tree work will be performed once the best weather presents itself for planting in unfrozen and unsaturated ground. Any tire marks previously made in the soft topsoil during planting will be removed at that time. All of the remaining punch list items will be properly addressed as the weather and our scheduling permit. City acceptance of the all contracted work will be reviewed for approved after this list is complete."
