Sleepy Hollow Dr Update-We will be completing drainage work on Sleepy Hollow Dr this coming Monday. There are signs placed where the road closures will occur. The closure closest to Jones Rd will happen first. The road will be closed from approx 8am-11am. The second location will be closed from approx 11am-2pm. If you have appointments in that time frame please leave early enough to get out. We will be able to provide emergency access but the more traffic the longer the work will take. The special assessment paving project will happen between Memorial Day and July 4th. This work will be pending weather and we will update once that work is scheduled. Thank you for your patience!!! ... See MoreSee Less
