Project to affect parking, bus routes through summer, city says   

The city said its street reconstruction project is scheduled to begin Monday, which will limit parking on Middleton Street and could affect bus routes and access to driveways through mid-August.

The Middleton Street Reconstruction Project will include a complete street reconstruction of Middleton Street from South Avenue to 1,200 feet south of Voss Parkway, the city said. The project scope includes street, curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveway apron and storm sewer improvements and is scheduled to be finished on Aug. 20, 2013, the city said.

For the duration of the project, street parking along Middleton Street will be unavailable Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m., or until construction activity is completed for the day, city officials said in a news release Thursday.
