Oakdale updates residents on school year safety, road work
The Oakdale City Council held a brief Monday morning update focused on the start of the school year and ongoing infrastructure work. The council reminded drivers to exercise caution in school zones and provided an update on a major street rehabilitation project expected to wrap up mid-September.
With city offices closed for Labor Day, the council used the Monday morning briefing to highlight community priorities as students return to school. Tartan High School, where the meeting was held, recently completed a major addition and renovation project. The council extended good wishes to all students, teachers, and staff for a successful academic year.
Safety is a key concern as school resumes. The council reminded drivers to slow down and pay close attention in school zones and residential neighborhoods, where children and school buses will be present. Drivers are urged to anticipate the movement of students and buses to prevent accidents during the busy school commute.
The council also provided an update on the Hadley Avenue pavement rehabilitation project, which stretches from 10th Street to Hallmark. The project is currently underway and is expected to be completed by mid-September. Drivers should be aware that traffic signals at the intersection of Hadley Avenue and 15th Street will remain flashing red during construction, and drivers must treat these signals as stop signs. Partial lane closures are possible, with flaggers on site to direct traffic. Motorists are advised to exercise caution in the work zone.
City offices will reopen Tuesday, September 3rd at 8 a.m.

[0:05] Welcome back to the Monday Morning Minute for
September 1. Let's get 60 seconds on the clock
[0:09] and get started. First up, City offices are
closed today, Monday, in observance of Labor
[0:14] Day. City facilities will reopen at 8 AM tomorrow.
In recognition of the start of the school year,
[0:19] we're here at Tartan High School, which recently
completed its addition and renovation project,
[0:23] a huge undertaking. Good luck to our local
students, teachers, and support staff as
[0:27] they head back to school this week. We wish
everyone a very successful school year ahead.
[0:33] With the return to school, a reminder for drivers
to slow down, pay attention, and anticipate school
[0:38] children and buses, especially in school zones
and neighborhoods. We want everybody to remain
[0:42] safe. Finally, the pavement rehabilitation
project on Hadley Avenue from 10th Street to

mid-September. For the duration of this project,
[0:52] the traffic signals at the intersection of Hadley
Avenue and 15th Street will remain flashing red,
