I come into town via the Roche Harbor Road and Tucker Avenue so have become accustomed to taking the Larson Street detour or driving through the dust and heavy equipment to get to Guard Street.
Every single time I’ve been greeted with a friendly wave and smile from flagger Vicki Hebert. It never fails to lift my spirits. Today I stopped to take her photo and thank her for her cheerful greetings.
When I asked Vicki if there was anything thing she would like to say to us, in keeping with her sunny disposition, she wanted to thank us! She said the people driving through are just about always kind, cautious, and helpful.
Remember that this week while they are pouring sidewalks and diverting traffic.
See below a message from Town Clerk, Amy Taylor on what to expect this week…
Tucker Avenue Reconstruction Project – Phase 1
Construction Update Week of August 1st
Project task(s): The Contractor will pour concrete sidewalks and prepare the roadway for pavement.
Street Closure: Tucker Avenue will closed for extended period of time throughout the week while the contractor prepares the roadbed for asphalt. Local access will be maintained. Southbound traffic should anticipate delays when open. Flaggers are on-site.
Detour: Traffic will be rerouted using Harbor Avenue, in addition to the established detour route. Flaggers will advise drivers when use of Harbor Street is appropriate. Vehicles are asked to help ease congestion by using the detour route.

Hey Peggy Sue, Thanks for stopping at the site and giving the shout out to Vicki. I go that way, too, and agree she has done a great job – always very cordial in a difficult situation. S.
I also really like seeing Vicki each day. However, I believe the contractor/Town would make the detour much safer by providing a flagger at the intersection of Carter Avenue and Guard Street (especially at peak traffic times). It is a very unsafe situation. Perhaps, the placement of temporary three way stops during certain time of the day would eliminate some of the safety issues, though it would impede the flow of traffic for certain times of the day. Just my thoughts.
