MORTON DRIVE PROJECT UPDATE Due to expeditious construction of the Morton Drive project, we have agreed to allow the contractor to close Morton Drive earlier than initially planned. Starting May 12, 2008, Morton Drive will be closed entirely from19th to 27th Street. Traffic will be detoured to 8th Avenue, with the streets (19th - 27th) changing to two-way traffic. The council was notified last evening of the project status and made aware of the closure change.  We appreciate your cooperation, and look forward to the continued success of this important project.
