Our utility contractor is scheduled to install a new fire hydrant in the greenbelt directly across from the Guard/Visitors Information Booth next week. It will require closing one lane of traffic for the day on Monday and some of Tuesday.  The contractor will maintain two lanes of traffic the majority of time.  This work shouldn’t create any problems for people coming and going from the Davis Hall parking lot. Once completed the work will improve fire protection for Trinity, Davis and Texas Hall.
