TIMELINE FOR PHILLIPS SIDEWALKS PROJECT RELEASED - UPDATED 9-23-25

My Price County initially reported that Justin from Ayres Associates stated one side of the street's sidewalks would be entirely completed and then the other side of the street would be completed. Last week, the City of Phillips released a more specific schedule, which was reported at https://www.mynorthernwisconsin.com/news/thread-711.html. However, it looks like the original schedule is taking place as the west side of the street is getting torn out in all the blocks as of the evening of September 23, 2025, and no concrete has been poured yet.
