The Mississippi River is quickly rising and is now predicted to crest at 23.2 FT on Friday, May 3rd. The current river level is 22 FT. While employees quickly work to install the flood protection around our downtown, the Public Works Director's Office is requesting all citizens to stay away from the riverfront to allow employees to work on the flood wall. During this time, there will be parking restrictions at Front Street and Washington Street due to flood protection.
