End Of Cook Street Road Work In Sight
But for now, motorists are asked to avoid Cook Street at Hovley Lane East and use Portola Avenue, Country Club Drive and Fred Waring Drive.

Crews are set to install traffic signal poles on Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 11-12, from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to city spokesman David Hermann.
"This is a major undertaking requiring that through traffic be detoured off Cook Street," Hermann said in a news release. "Traffic will also be stopped completely for periods of up to 30 minutes."
