Residents are advised that Knoxville Road (from Westview Park to 5th Line) will be closed on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for a culvert replacement. Traffic can use 6th line as an alternate route. School buses will not be affected by this closure.

Residents are advised that there will be a delay in opening the splash pad at Wladyka Park this year. The cold winter has resulted in some damage that requires replacement parts to be ordered. Due to supply chain delays, we anticipate the opening will be late June to early July. We will keep the community up to date if anything changes. We appreciate your patience.
