单选题
Attention Residents

The Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is performing work on Foster Street in order to install new water mains and upgrade other utilities. To safely accommodate the work, parts of Foster Street between Spence Avenue and Temple Road will become one-way, open to only westbound traffic.
During Phase I, scheduled to end in late July, work will be performed between Avalon Road and Morton Avenue. In addition, parking on Avalon Road will be prohibited entirely to accommodate large trucks and related paving equipment. City buses will continue to operate normally throughout the area although some delays are possible.
Phase Ⅱ, scheduled to run from late July through late October, will include work between Cooper Road and Riverfront Road. Residents, business owners and employees in this area should allow extra time for travel, and if possible, they should seek alternate route to avoid the Foster Street neighborhood.
Questions and concerns about this project should be directed to the city's transportation department at 323 Tucker Street.
