Drive carefully through Harris Shoals Park during paving

Weather permitting; resurfacing of Harris Shoals Park Road will begin Monday August 29 th .   The project is expected to be completed by Friday, September 02.   The park will remain open during the work; however, the availability of parking will be limited and road construction equipment will be operating within the park during the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00PM.   If you chose to visit the park during these times, please exercise caution. The City appreciates your understanding and patience over the last few months as we have endeavored to make Watkinsville’s Harris Shoals Park a prettier park than before.   Except for some incidental items like additional picnic tables and personal grills, the road work should be the last big project for the park.   These improvements were made possible by revenue received through the Special Local Option Sales Tax ( SPLOST).     

Latest attempt at getting the sidewalk to curb smoothed out at First and Barnett Shoals in Watkinsville

Took this while biking down to the First Friday with my son Lowell Friday in an attempt to get this sidewalk to curb smoothed out with a ramp instead of a dangerous chasm where tires get caught. The rest of Watkinsville has been improving greatly with the Streetscape program, and I just want this added to the list.
