City of Bellefontaine officials announce that the Shelly Company will be in Bellefontaine this week making preparations for the city’s annual street resurfacing program.
Wednesday, Aug. 2, they started by posting areas with “No Parking” signs , and will begin milling by the end of the week.
Residents are asked to be mindful of the temporary no parking areas and keep vehicles off of the street during the posted hours so that work can move forward safely and efficiently. Vehicles that are not moved are subject to towing at owners’ expense.
Altogether, the city will spend nearly $700,000 on street resurfacing this year. Funding for the program comes from the city’s general fund as well as gas tax money received by the city.

1. Bonnie Lane;
2. Campbell Drive;
