Cleave Street surface treatment to begin Nov. 4
Surface treatment for Cleave Street will begin mid-morning on Nov. 4th. Initial operations will focus on cleaning and power washing the first sections of the road before the sealant is applied. The contractor’s general plan is to focus on 250-foot segments, starting at the east end of the street and moving west. Access to the Big Horn parking lot will be maintained during this process. A lane closure of approximately 250 feet is expected throughout the week, moving from east to west on either the north or south side of the road at various times. It is anticipated that this work will be completed sometime next week. Business owners and residents with specific access needs or questions can share them with Jamin Rucker, a civil engineer with the Town’s Public Works Department, 970-699-6788, or Greg Muhonen, 970-577-3581.
