New wider crosswalks at 4th and Cherry

With a break in the weather - finally! - DPW has begun hot-taping new crosswalks at the intersection of 4th Street and Cherry Lane. These new crosswalks, along with the addition of the remaining bike lanes and signage, will complete the 4th Street reconstruction that began last fall.  The new crosswalks across 4th Street will be wider and ladder-style for increased visibility.
