Please cut back your vegetation and remove any objects on the sidewalks, shoulders, and within the City's right-of-way.

Broadway (Friendship Street to Bliss Road) Traffic Signal and Pedestrian Improvements

Businesses and sidewalks will be open, however, parking will be restricted in the immediate area during working hours as required.
Signage improvements have also been completed from Marlborough Street to Cranston Street.
Parking may be restricted during the working week from 7 AM to 4 PM

Pavement Marking Improvements

Construction is ongoing.
Road yellow center line striping, crosswalks, stop bars, and other pavement markings will be repainted throughout the city. Because this work requires large areas of the City and negatively impacts traffic flow, the vast majority of the work occurs overnight (8 pm to 6 am). This work is ongoing and paint application is highly weather dependent (e.g., wet streets and cold weather prohibits paint installation).
