Oro Valley announces final phase of fall pavement preservation 
ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (Nov. 10, 2021) –– The Town of Oro Valley Public Works Department has released the schedule for the final phase of fall pavement preservation work on various roads within town limits. This upcoming treatment phase will begin Nov. 15 through Dec. 3, 2021, weather permitting. 

The Town’s pavement preservation program is a Council funded priority that is data driven. Roads that receive treatment are prioritized based on when they were treated or constructed last. Pavement preservation extends the pavement life and is far less expensive than replacing the asphalt.

It is important to note that the treated road cannot be driven on for 24 hours after it’s finished. Those who live in an area scheduled for pavement preservation will receive a door notice with information two days before work begins. The town asks that residents plan ahead, observe posted traffic signs and yield to construction workers.

OV prosecutor Troy Simon wins Guardian of Freedom Award
 
ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (Nov. 10, 2021) – Oro Valley’s Assistant Town Prosecutor Troy Simon has been awarded the prestigious Guardian of Freedom Award for his work on the Ron Bell case. 
 
The Guardian of Freedom Award is issued by the Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys’ Advisory Council. Established in 2018, the award pays tribute to Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein and her husband, Kurt Klein. The Kleins, who advocated for Holocaust education and human rights, recognized lawyers as living embodiments of the United States Constitution and often the last line of defense for the rights of both victims and the accused. The award honors legal professionals in Arizona who live up to the Kleins’ ideals by making professional and ethical decisions, regardless of the outcome of the case. As such, this is not necessarily an annual award; rather, it is awarded as exceptional actions warrant.
