One of the most confusing areas of Monticello Traffic, aside from the town Square, is E. Gaines St.

When you leave the Square, on E. Gaines St., it is one-lane traffic, with parking spaces on both sides of the street.

When it crosses, Gabbert Street, at the chamber of commerce, THEN it becomes a two-lane highway, without parking places.

The City of Monticello wants to remind residents that the Conrad Street Water Tower repairs and improvements are still underway and on schedule.

Residents near the tower may see water misting from the tower where it is being pressure washed and crews scaling the exterior of the structure. Access to Conrad Street is limited during the project. (more…)

Reports indicate a Water main break, east side of town, effecting Drew Foam to Hood Packaging area

Options Domestic Violence Shelter helps countless victims of domestic violence every year and they are doing a fantastic job.  They need YOUR help with donations and MONTICELLO needs your help in keeping our town square clean.

PLEASE stop dropping donations off after hours or on weekends where they are left out and pilfered, rained on and strewn around businesses. It’s only making the work HARDER for volunteers at Options and it’s making our town square – which is a representation and the focal point of our community often look like a garbage heap.

Drop off days and times are as follows:

Monday-Wednesday 9am-4:30pm.
Thursday & Friday 10:30-4:30 and the first Saturday of every month.

We can do better. Let’s keep supporting Options and keep our town keep moving forward!
