The streets that will be resurfaced this fall are:

Allen Street from Kearney Avenue to Donald Street

Church Street from West Scott Avenue to Thomas Street

Union Street from Whittier Street to Church Street

Parking will be restricted on the above streets during resurfacing, and motorists are asked to use extra caution when traveling through the area.  The streets will be milled and topped with two inches of new asphalt.  Curb repairs will be made where necessary.
