Charles Metzger, Public Works Director, reports:
“We are Down to about 3 traffic signals without power out of 135 citywide. Also all the
streets that we know about have been cleared and are passable. Please be aware that
homeowners and businesses will be putting debris out near the streets for weeks to come.
Slow down and watch for limbs and other debris in the roadway. Also, please watch for City
Crews cleaning up this debris. There will be large loaders and other equipment all over the
City out in the roadways. This cleanup will take several weeks to accomplish.
