From Missouri American Water: "Tomorrow (July 31), starting approximately at 9am, we will be performing a shutdown to facilitate the replacement of a 2” meter set at the middle/high school. The shutdown will be from 9am-3pm. The area that will be affected by the shutdown is shown in the map below. The code red alert is scheduled to go out tonight, 7/30/26, at 7pm. Should someone with an account in the area, shown in the map, not receive a code red message, through either phone, text, or email, they must call customer service and add the information needed to their account. ONLY customers within the area affected will receive the code red message. Customers may experience low pressure or no water. Customers may also experience discolored water once the water is turned back on. This is normal. Should a customer have discolored water they should flush their lines by running the COLD water, preferably in the bathtub until the water clears." Any questions can be directed to Missouri American Water. ... See MoreSee Less

LAWSON LAKE TRAIL CLOSURE
After many years of planning, the walking trail at the Lawson City Lake is getting paved with work starting in early August. Public Works Director John Kujawa says, "This is something the community has wanted for a really long time, and we are excited that the project is finally underway!"

When the construction crew moves in on August 3, parts of the lake trail will be completely inaccessible to all traffic (no walk around in several locations), especially the east side where heavy equipment will be working to replace tubes. For the first few weeks, people can still access the west side of the trail (yellow on the graphic). It is recommended to either turnaround at the campground and retrace the trail, or to cut up through the campground and follow Raum back. As work progresses to the east side, then it is recommended to avoid that area as well.

The north loop of the trail will remain open throughout the entire process as it is not getting paved at this time. Access to the lake for kayaking, boating and fishing near the boat launch and fishing dock will also remain available.

Overall, the public is asked to avoid any areas that are under construction, stay away from heavy machinery and do not cross any kind of barriers, fencing or "do not cross" tape that may be in place.

Kujawa says, "We understand this is going to be a minor inconvenience for a few weeks, but the paved trail will be great when it is completed." The initial work is expected to take about a month, with various finishing work to be completed before Halloween. ... See MoreSee Less

Salem Extension Open to Traffic

After years of planning and months of construction, the Salem extension is now open to traffic, including vehicles, a bicycle lane and pedestrian sidewalks. The Salem extension was designed to alleviate heavy traffic through the Nolker and Cardinal Circle neighborhood. Nolker Drive was never intended to be a through street and used to be a dead end, before it was opened up to connect to D Highway over 60 years ago. On average, around 600 cars a day travel down the residential street with on-street parking adding to the congestion, often turning the narrow road into a single lane of traffic. The Salem extension will give drivers a more direct route connecting the north and south parts of town without funneling them through a residential neighborhood.

The speed limit on the new section of Salem will be set at 35 miles per hour, while the speed limit on Salem from Moss/Hazel and southward will remain at 25 miles per hour due to the many residential driveways that connect to the road.

It is important to note that the new intersection located on the south end of the project where Salem, Moss and Hazel come together is now a four-way stop. Traffic in all directions must come to a complete stop before proceeding. Police Chief Bruce Summa states, “We understand that this new four-way stop is going to take some time to get used to, so our officers will be educating the public and giving warnings during the transition to the new traffic pattern.”

Altogether, the City hopes that the new road will make the Nolker and Cardinal Circle neighborhoods safer for the families that live there and easier for motorists to get through town. The City’s number one priority will always be the safety of our citizens. ... See MoreSee Less
