With winter coming on, the Kiwanis Club hopes to collect warm pajamas for toddlers through size 16. You can also make monetary contributions to the effort.

All-State Insurance on 1st street is the “Bedtime Sponsor.” National Bank on Route 66 is the “Sweet Dreams” sponsor. The Williams-Grand Canyon Chamber of Commerce in the Visitor Center on Railroad Avenue is the “All Tucked In” sponsor and Mountain Ranch Resort at Beacon Hill is the “Sleep Tight” sponsor.

You can donate pajamas or monetary contributions at any one of the businesses. In addition, the Scholastic Pajama Drive will donate a new book for every pair of pajamas collected.

Pavement Markings to be replaced on I-17 just north of SR 179 Junction beginning Columbus Day

adot-logo3One lane for northbound traffic on I-17 will be temporarily closed with reduced travel speeds for a three mile segment just north of the SR 179 junction beginning Monday, Oct. 13. The lane reduction is required to allow for removal and installation of new pavement markers which provide greater visibility during weather events and are more durable under heavy traffic.

The marking replacement operation will continue weekly Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is expected to be completed mid-November. During construction, drivers are asked to allow for extra travel time, exercise caution and observe reduced speeds within the construction zone.
