“I used to walk my dogs that way, but now we have a different route because our route is getting torn up,” Micha Mill said.

She got a letter informing her about the construction earlier this week.

The project will add curb inlets and a new storm trunk line. By widening the roads, some family’s driveways will be torn up to add in sidewalks.

“I guess it’s better for the tourists but it’s not fun for the residents in the meantime,” Mill said.
