July 10th: Remaining Dominion Virginia Power work includes energizing of the previously installed cable. We have been informed by Dominion Power that the removal of the existing wires and poles will be completed by July 17th.

* Landscaping on the medians continues.
* Shirley Contracting continues to work on "punchlist" items. This includes removal and replacement of damaged concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk throughout the project.

* The City has been informed by Shirley Contracting that Monroe Ave will be completed by the week of September 8, contingent on Dominion Power completing their work by July 17th.
