A new project is underway aimed at sprucing up the area's avenues, so get ready to tap those brakes and maybe map out a Plan B for your usual route. It's all for a good cause: those potholes and cracks that have been rattling our rides are finally getting some attention.
The city has flagged East Rusk Street and East Kaufman Street, from the school parking lot to Fannin Street, plus a stretch of North Tyler Street between Rusk and Kaufman, as the focus of these street repairs. Barring any temperamental weather episodes, the city expects to wrap up the work by Wednesday, August 6. Residents can still get to their homes, but let's just say patience will be a virtue as 'temporary delays may occur during construction,' according to an alert on the Rockwall County, Texas website.
While your normal parking spots might turn into no-go zones, the city is making an effort to keep the disruptions to a minimum. They've sent out notifications with all the deets on where you can, and can't, leave your car for the time being. Sure, it's a hassle, but at least the result should be smoother commutes and safer streets.
