coming soon, the on-ramp from 50th Street to northbound Highway 100 will be closed. That work will close that intersection for a few months until late fall.
This will allow the contractor to build a noise wall from Minhaha Creek up to 50th Street. It'll allow them to build the new on-ramp and install the new signal system in that location.
We also ask that you be courteous to pedestrians and cyclists within the district. We're seeing a lack of yielding to pedestrians using crosswalks midblock and crosswalks around the roundabouts.
