Freddy approves of road construction progress


In a recent siting, Freddy Falcon gives a thumbs up to the Cascade Avenue construction project near North Hall. Work continues this week on storm sewer installation from Fourth to Second Street. Work on the Second Street roundabout walls has begun, and continued work on the east-west leg of the steam tunnel and chilled water running in front of North Hall is underway.
