For those who take light rail, get off at the Sunrise Station and there will be someone to escort you on a walking tour of the construction site and on to the hotel.

The free luncheon is open to the first 80 who RSVP. It begins at noon and ends at 1 p.m.

Starting week two, Green Valley School has logged the most carpool trips with Camino School logging the most school walk trips and school bus trips. FCUSD's Navigator Elementary has logged the most school bike trips. 

Students have all month to register their trips. For students to sign up or to monitor the competition, go to www.SmartRoutesToSchool.com.

Crews will be working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights this week to restripe and add traffic capacity to Missouri Flat Road south of the US 50 interchange. This work had been planned for an earlier date but postponed due to weather. The work is scheduled to begin each evening at 9 p.m. and finish by 5 a.m.

During the daytime, the road will be striped with temporary traffic markers. Motorists are advised to drive with caution and be aware of temporary shifts in lane configurations.

The new alignment should be complete by Friday morning.
