Starting today and going through the next twelve weeks, you may come across a slow down of traffic or experience detours as building units for the new Hillside Commons student housing building project are trucked in to Oneonta and up to the building site.  According to the Oneonta Police Department's Facebook page, the planned route is Maple Street to Center Street, to East Street, then to Bugbee and on to Blodgett. There will be temporary “No Parking 9am to 5pm” signs placed on Center Street between Maple and East Streets. Officers will be checking that area prior to each delivery in an attempt to remove vehicles that are in the way.

Depending on the first units' arrival and the progression to Hillside Commons, a determination will be made if southbound traffic will need to be stopped and diverted down Hickey Street for the duration of the deliveries.  Be patient with parking issues and traffic slow downs as they occur.
