Traffic near Oread Inn will remain blocked

Commission to discuss closing road near Oread

Construction around the Oread Inn will keep surrounding streets closed for the rest of the year. At today’s city commission meeting, the street improvement plan and traffic control for the area will be reviewed and the public will be allowed to comment on any concerns they have with the construction.

Dave Corliss, city manager, said no changes would be made to the way the road blocks were placed.

The city commission meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. 6th Street.
