Motorist Advisory
Merrill Street to Close to Traffic at Lake Avenue Monday
(Friday, April 8, 2016) – The Monroe County Pure Waters Pump Station Upgrade Project will affect traffic at Merrill Street and Lake Avenue over the coming weeks. Beginning Monday, April 11 and lasting until Friday, April 22, Merrill Street will be closed to traffic entering and exiting Lake Avenue.
Detour signs will be posted.
Construction on the Ridgeway Reconstruction project will be starting again on MARCH 22. This season the ENTIRE length of Ridgeway from Ramona Street (WEST of the RR tracks) to Lake will be ONE WAY EASTBOUND. Please note that if you want to go further west from any streets west of Dewey, you won’t be able to make a left hand turn from Lilly onto Dewey- you’ll have to go east to Dewey, then north or south to Ridge or Driving Park to go west.
The Lower Falls Foundation is organizing another clean-up of Lower Falls Park and the trail this Sunday (3/20) at 2:00 PM. Meet at the Rose Garden- snacks provided!
Our NW council person, Molly Clifford, is holding monthly “coffee meetings” for her constituents:
First Saturdays of the month (March 5th) at 11AM at the Cannonball Cafe, Lake Ave. & Latta Rd. in Charlotte and
Third Saturdays of the month (March 19th) at 11AM at the Dunkin’ Donuts, 573 Lyell Ave. near Hague St.
Come have coffee with Molly and talk about any concerns you have in your neighborhood, ideas you have for the City, and what’s going on at City Hall!
On Sunday, February 28, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., Maplewood’s State Senator, Joe Robach, is sponsoring a FREE electronics recycling event at the Monroe County Ecopark – 10 Avion Drive. In conjunction with Time Warner Cable, Sunnking Electronics, Monroe County and Waste Management, they will be collecting your old televisions, computers monitors, hard drives, laptops, gaming systems and old cell phones. Normally Monroe County’s recycling vendor makes you pay them to accept old TV’s and monitors you can no longer legally put in the trash. This is your chance to dispose of them for free! If you have old or unused electronics, please take advantage of this free event and protect our environment by having these items properly disposed of.
We have TWO opportunities to clean up Maplewood this Saturday:
-Reconnect Rochester’s SNOWDOWN starts at 10:00, with a group at Dewey and Driving Park and one at Dewey and Palm. Since there’s no snow blocking the bus stops, they’ll be picking up litter along Dewey.
-A group is picking up litter in the Lower Falls and trail also. That starts at noon in Maplewood Park, with refreshments.
Give a little bit this weekend!
