With plenty of rain on the way, the City of Sturgeon Bay wasted no time closing a waterfront street.

Director of Municipal Services Mike Barker announced the closure for most motorists Monday afternoon due to road flooding. According to his release, Memorial Drive is closed between 12th Ave and Utopia Circle.  Near Utopia Circle, the street has been barricaded so no traffic may pass.  Closer to 12th Ave, barricades are positioned so residents living between 12th and 15th can get to their homes.  There was minor flooding on the street Tuesday morning, but it is recommended that other motorists stay away from the area until Memorial Drive is reopened. The rain is expected to subside during the day Tuesday, but more showers are expected Friday night into Saturday morning.
