DPW Driveway and Parking Lot

The project to relocate the DPW driveway will start on or about May 2nd, 2013 and will likely continue for approximately three months.  Due to the potential for traffic delays within the DPW site during this time, we recommend that all residents visiting the Post Office or Blue Willow Marketplace use the Village Road driveway when exiting.  This will help to avoid delays in your trip while enhancing the safety of the workers at the site.  Your anticipated cooperation is greatly appreciated!
