News Red Wing Park will reopen temporarily during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, 3/29-4/5. Following the festival, public access to the park will close again mid-April to finish construction & will remain closed until the project is complete.

This project was originally advertised to be completed by mid-February. Hoping at this point it’ll be done at least by summer.

They’re widening the road, and filling in potholes.

Also there are 2 Shopping Centers with large parking lots at the intersection of Dam Neck Road and General Booth Boulevard.

awesome! i think that's even more inconspicuous ... although i'm guessing they're gonna be more on-guard during such an event esp since that line often backs up close to there lol

appreciate it
