Greetings!
The ground is broken and the Downtown Revitalization project is under way in the City of Bucyrus!
We would like to thank everyone who attended the Groundbreaking Ceremony on Monday. We had a great crowd on hand to help us kick off the project. As evidenced during the ceremony, the contractors wasted no time beginning the sawcutting task at the corner of N. Sandusky Ave. and Perry St. Several project tasks are continuing throughout the coming weeks. Details are below.
Thank you for your patience during this project. Our hope is that this project will lead to a more prosperous Bucyrus!
Sincerely,
Dan Ross, Mayor
Sid Seevers, Service-Safety Director

The Sawcutting Project Tasks are well under way. These began on Monday (8-3) and will continue for the next couple of weeks. If you've driven through downtown between Mansfield Street and Perry Street, you'll have noticed that every effort is being made to maintain local access to the businesses in this area.
The next big Project Task begins Monday, August 10th, with the Railroad Bore and Storm Sewer Installation. We will detour traffic around the project area. However, the alleys behind the downtown businesses are open and have been opened up to allow for two-way traffic. We ask that if you travel through the alleys that you exercise caution and courtesy to others utilizing the alley ways.

This portion of the project will require a full detour around the project area for the safety of the workers and the public. Message boards will be in place on both the north and south sides of the task area promoting our local downtown businesses as open!
