Timing isn't the greatest, but it's certainly needed badly in that stretch of road. I was in town last weekend and I could really tell the need for resurfacing and updated street lights.
Speaking of roads, what in the world is going on with the 10th street connector? I feel like the entire portion has been 98% paved for over a year now. It seems like they could at least move east bound traffic onto the new portion until it intersects with 14th street.

They also put up signs reminding people of bike safety – the whole town is excited for the event.
