Briefs continued from page 5 Weekly outdoor public meetings continue at 9 a.m. every Tuesday at the northwest corner of 17th and Central Avenue. Businesses and citizens are invited to all weekly meetings. The Sheridan Avenue project (#CodyImprovements) includes removing and replacing existing damaged concrete slabs, resealing existing concrete joints, grinding and texturing existing roadway, upgrading Americans with Disabilities requirements at every street corner between 10th Street and Stampede Avenue, replacing broken curb and gutter and sidewalk, and upgrading wiring at traffic signals. The project begins at US 14/16/20 milepost 51.78 at the intersection of 10th Street and Sheridan Avenue in front of the Park County Courthouse, and it proceeds 1.20 miles on US 14/16/20 to the 17th Street/Stampede Avenue intersection on Greybull Hill. Phase 3 of the project, by contract, proceeds from 14th Street up Greybull Hill to the end of the project and must be completed through concrete grinding and texturing prior to June 15. By contract, the project will be shut down from June 16 through Aug. 23. Phase 4 of the project, by contract, requires all remaining work to be com-
pleted by the contract completion date of Sept. 30.
Lander Main Street concrete repair, pavement overlay work LANDER – Work began March 22 at the Main Street/Buena Vista intersection on the $6.89 million Lander concrete rehabilitation project and US 287 pavement overlay. The $6.89 million US 287 (Lander Main Street Americans with Disabilities Act improvements and concrete rehabilitation, and US 287 pavement overlay) project is 16.2 miles in length, between the Main Street/Buena Vista intersection in Lander and Ft. Washakie. The project includes concrete grinding, concrete joint sealing, asphalt paving, chip sealing, and curb, gutter and ADA ramp repairs. The contractor’s preliminary work schedule shows work mostly complete by the middle of July. Weekly public work progress meetings are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Thursday, March 25, at the southwest corner of the Main Street/2nd Street intersection in downtown Lander. Citizens and businesses are invited to attend the weekly work
progress meetings. “By contract, project work is required to be phased so that 2-way traffic is maintained on half of the roadway at all times,” Smith said. “There will be some intersection disruptions and lane closures during this quick-moving project. A large percentage of the project includes pavement work (milling and a pavement overlay) between mileposts 10 (near US 287’s intersection with WYO 132) and 24.17 (Ft. Washakie).”
US 14/16/20 single-lane closure at Cody tunnels CODY – A single-lane traffic closure occurred March 10 at the tunnels west of Cody on US 14/16/20. “Lighting and structural inspections took place between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.,” said Wyoming Department of Transportation district traffic engineer Jack Hoffman of Basin. Traffic control during the single-lane closure was handled by Cody’s WYDOT maintenance crew. Drivers encountered a 20 mph speed limit through the tunnels during the lighting and structural inspections, and traffic was led through the tunnels by a pilot vehicle. n
Letters Clear communication at Motor Vehicle Services Hi Shannon, I just want to drop you a line to let you know how much I appreciated all of your help. It was customer service at its finest! I truly appreciated the fact that you took it upon yourself to investigate and call the Albany County Treasurer’s office and in working with Sunny, corrected the situation, handled the call to E-470 and clearly communicated to Sunny that nothing further was needed from me. Sunny was also very helpful and she phoned me rather than me having to call their office again. I can’t tell you how much the clear communication and the “no runaround” approach meant to me. As I stated before, this is what the model of customer service should be! Thank you so much for your assistance.
Warm Regards, Kathleen Eberhart 6 Interchange

Kudos to the road crews Huge thanks to all the road crews and supporting staff that brave any element and keep the roads moving. Nothing flows, especially EMS, without the folks in the plow rigs and the supporting crews in dispatch, mechanics, logistics, etc.

Drove home yesterday (March 16) right after the roads opened. Drove on I-25. Thank you for all your hard work. With the amounts of snow piled up on the side of the road, I could tell that was extremely difficult to clear. Thank you for your hard work. Driving home was a piece of cake.
