Construction update

Over the next few weeks, you’ll see the following construction activities in the project area: 

*15th Ave S from S Judkins St to S State St*


* Crews will continue installing concrete buffer for protected bike lanes on the *east and west sides* of 15th Ave S from S Judkins St to S State St. This work will *permanently remove parking *on the *east side* of 15th Ave S from S Judkins St to S State St.

*15th Ave S and S Judkins St to S Atlantic St*


* Crews will remove roadway pavement and then pour new roadway on the *east and* *west sides* of 15th Ave S

*15th Ave S and S Grand St *


* Crews will finish underground electrical work and then pour new sidewalk and curb ramps on the *west and east side* of 15th Ave S

*15th Ave S and S Plum St*


* Crews will begin work to survey and prepare the area for upcoming work
* Crews will remove roadway pavement and sidewalk, install storm drain improvements, and then pour new roadway, sidewalks, and curb ramps on the *east side* of 15th Ave S

*Traffic Control*


* 15th Ave S will be reduced to one lane 24/7 during this work. Drivers and cyclists will use 14th Ave S between 15th Ave S and S College St as a detour.
* Pedestrian detours will direct people walking to cross to the opposite side of 15th Ave S while crews work on the east or west side of the road*.*
* Parking restrictions will remain in place
* A uniformed police officer will direct northbound and southbound travelers through intersections during work requiring lane blockages or signal modifications

*Tree Removals*

We may need to remove more trees than the three we initially identified during design phase. As we began sidewalk repair work on the project corridor, we're finding that more trees have root systems that are too shallow and overgrown under the sidewalk. We have exhausted all design options to build ADA-compliant sidewalks and will need to remove additional trees - these trees have been posted. We are trying our best to retain as many trees as possible. We will continue to inspect tree roots as we move southward with our sidewalk repair work and will share additional information about tree removals as they become available.
