Doty Street in preparation for the continuation of the Doty Street & Wilson Street reconstruction project.  During this time, E. Doty Street will be limited to one travel lane until August 16 when the closed lane will reopen and that portion of E. Doty street will be temporarily converted to two-way traffic lanes while the 100 Block of E. Wilson Street is fully closed to through traffic for reconstruction.
