“Weather permitting, our qualified contractor, JA Alexander, will begin road improvement items the week of May 18,” a township advisory said. Work hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The list of roads includes:

• Cedar Street (Wyoming Ave. to Sagamore Rd.)
• Meeker Place
• Noel Drive
• Eliot Place (cul-de-sac)
• Garden Court (cul-de-sac)

• Falmouth Street (Slayton Dr. to Cambridge Dr.)

According to the town’s advisory:

“The contractor will likely begin repairs on Falmouth Street first. There will be two crews working around town. Please drive cautiously and follow all road signs and detours. Please remove vehicles from your driveway by 7 a.m. each morning. You may park your vehicle on side streets during construction.”

“Residents should take the time now to mark any sprinkler or irrigation system located in the township right of way (near the curb or road edge of their property) to prevent damage to their system during construction,” the advisory said.
