What’s Happening

Get ready for some serious roadwork in Shorewood: the monthslong reconstruction of Oakland Avenue kicks off this week. It’s about time, if you ask locals who’ve been dealing with the street’s potholes and general disrepair for years.

The Details

So, what exactly does this project entail? Well, it’s not just a quick facelift – we’re talking a full-on overhaul. The goal is to make Oakland Avenue safer and more accessible for everyone, from drivers to pedestrians to cyclists. It won’t be a quick process, but it’s a necessary one.

Let’s be real, this reconstruction is long overdue. It’s not like the town’s been sitting on its hands, but it’s taken a while to get to this point. Now that it’s finally happening, residents can expect some disruptions, but hey, it’s a small price to pay for a better road.
