Tonight, starting at 7 pm, crews from SPM will be striping Grade Street from Oak Street to 13th Street. The striping will be in a new configuration from the current striping. Between Ash Street and 13th, the new striping will designate one through lane each direction, a center-turn lane and bike lanes on each side. From Oak to Ash, the new striping will designate one through lane in each direction and bike lanes on each side. During the work, individual lanes will be closed until the striping dries, but Grade Street will remain open. In addition, striping to Oak Street from 4th to 5th, 4th from Academy to Oak and 5th from Oak to Allen will occur in upcoming days as weather allows.

The City will work to minimize any inconveniences. We appreciate your cooperation and patience.
