City crews pour new sidewalks, remind public of downtown curfew; firefighters train at drill tower

Greenville announced several public-works and public-safety updates: contractors poured sidewalks and curbs and installed a storm drain on Clark Street, Webster Road and along Zora Drive to Lawrence Road in the Nickeltown neighborhood, Haley Brown reported. The work is part of neighborhood infrastructure improvements the briefing highlighted.

Greenville police issued a reminder that minors under 18 are not permitted in downtown public spaces or to drive through downtown from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays unless accompanied by an adult. The briefing presented that as an enforcement reminder and did not report any change in the underlying ordinance or its schedule.

Firefighters were shown practicing high-angle rope skills at the drill tower, stringing ropes between burn buildings, repelling to midpoints and descending to simulate victim rescue. Crews also installed curbs at Unity Park to protect irrigation and vegetation and to support stream-bank buffers.
