*Final project pieces are almost done*

Construction on the RapidRide G Line - Madison St project is nearly complete. We'll continue working on the “finishing touches,” which usually don’t cause big inconveniences for people walking, rolling, biking, taking the bus, or driving.

The finishing touches are tasks we complete at the end of a project. This checklist helps us catch and fix small issues, which is a normal part of any project. Finishing touches include:

*Landscaping: *Our team will continue working on landscaping throughout the fall. Most of the trees have already been planted, resulting in a total of 108 new trees in the project area, along with landscaping improvements on Madison St over I-5. The planters on I-5 will include a mix of shrubs, grasses, and perennials, such as Glacier Blue spurge, Seascape mat rush, and Autumn Fire stonecrop. Compact trees like the dwarf strawberry tree will also be planted to enhance the area.

*Signal Timing: *SDOT monitors and adjusts signal timing for the RapidRide G Line to improve traffic flow and reduce bus delays. During the first weeks of operation, we have closely monitored performance and made adjustments at key intersections, including Madison St and 6th Ave, Madison St and Boren Ave, E Madison St and 12th Ave, E Madison St and 15th Ave, E Madison St and 23rd Ave, and E Madison St and MLK Jr Way E. We’ve also implemented new signal timing along the corridor from 8th to 22nd avenues.

*New Art Coming Soon:* [ https://www.benzamora.com/about?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]

A public art installation is underway at the intersection of Madison St, 14th Ave, and Pike St. A sculpture by local artist Ben Zamora [ https://www.benzamora.com/about?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] [ https://www.benzamora.com/about?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] in progress. This vibrant piece consists of multiple-colored frames that intend to echo the surrounding architecture and reflect the diversity of the nearby communities. The artwork installation is expected to be completed by the end of this week, with the surrounding plaza scheduled for completion by the end of this year.

*10th Ave tunnel**: *Starting this week, we will temporarily close the eastbound lane and south sidewalk on Madison Street near 10th Avenue. During earlier work to install a new foundation for a trolley bus power pole at this intersection, crews found an old, abandoned tunnel beneath Madison Street. To ensure safety and stability, crews will fill in the tunnel and restore the area, including the sidewalk and landscaping. Pedestrian detours will be in place, and westbound vehicle traffic will remain open. Work at this intersection is expected to take one to two weeks.
