McMinnville Public Works is asking motorists to avoid South Chancery Street between Colville Street and Bridge Street between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. this Monday thru Friday. "We are going to block off the southbound lane in order to replace the sidewalk," said McMin-nville Public Works assistant director Brad Hennessee. "It’s a safety issue for the crew as they work on the sidewalk."
