It’s hoped that synchronization of light signals from Camino del Cielo to Mohawk Trail will begin in May. The Safe Route to Schools project will install sidewalks on one side of the street from Highway 62 to Onaga Trail; construction should begin after the end of the school year. Construction on the traffic light at Dumosa and the highway should begin in June. A town-wide slurry seal project should start in July. Restriping of the Palomar and Yucca Trail intersection should be finished by March. And finally, the tennis courts at Jacobs Park will be repaired and resurfaced in April.
