Your traditional Shanty Days Parade route will not be impacted in Algoma this weekend, even though the Division Street construction is underway.  Algoma City Administrator Matt Murphy says the work began last Tuesday, but the popular parade route will remain intact, although no parking will be allowed on Division Street starting at Fremont Street to Jefferson Street.  He shares what has been done to this point and the plan for the project.

The Division Street road work spans four blocks and will encompass new storm sewers, sanitary sewers, water, curb, gutter, sidewalks, and pavement.  The project is expected to wrap up by early November.  Murphy adds that the city is busy making the proper preparation for the Shanty Days celebration by the lake which begins on Friday.
