A local motorist on the What’s Happening in Sunbury page appreciated having grass and brush cleared along routes 36/37 west of the light when turning right on Cheshire Road to give a clearer view of oncoming traffic.
The village’s Facebook page posted, “Sunbury Meadows folks — please be aware that ‘no parking’ signs have popped up in your neighborhood. For the next couple of days, crack sealing will occur. On Aug. 6, the micro-sealing process will begin —weather permitting. This may necessitate in no parking restrictions and lane restrictions during that time frame.”
