Around Town: City Office Holiday Closure and Trash Delay, Railroad Maintenance, Back to School

City Office Holiday Closure and Trash Delay

The City Offices will be closed on Monday, September 5, 2022 for the Labor Day holiday.

Trash/recycle/compost pick-up will be delayed until Tuesday, September 6, 2022 due to the holiday. Since it is the first pick-up of the month it is also a bulk item pick-up day.

Railroad Maintenance

Please see the following message from AMTRAK regarding upcoming train track maintenance:

Dear Residents of Dexter,

Please be aware that Amtrak track repair crews will be upgrading and smoothing track through the community starting Monday, August 29 through Saturday, morning September 16.  Work will take place intermittently (not every night) between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. Equipment used to make upgrades and repairs will make noise.  Amtrak apologizes for any inconvenience this causes and appreciates the patience of our neighbors while we improve the nation’s passenger train system.

If you have questions about this or other Amtrak projects, please call 800-USA-RAIL or email governmentaffairschi@amtrak.com


Back to School
