Midland Ave. project meeting May 1

City officials have invited residents of Mentelle and other nearby neighborhoods to a public meeting to hear details about the Town Branch Commons and Midland Avenue sanitary sewer construction projects. The meeting will be Tuesday, May 1, at 5:30 p.m. at the Charles Young Center, 503 E. Third St.

Town Branch Commons is an urban park and trail system that will connect new and existing downtown parks and the Town Branch and Legacy trails. The first phase begins with utility construction along Midland Avenue, including sanitary sewer improvements.

Construction is anticipated on Main Street, Eastern Avenue, Short Street and Midland Avenue by early summer. It will require temporary lane and road closures.
