STREETSCAPE DETAILS
June 14-18 update
- Construction work will take place Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.
- Construction will begin with traffic control, detour setup, erosion control, and setting up a temporary watermain.
- Street removals will follow once traffic control is in place.
- Partial sidewalk areas will remain in place while the initial work is performed. Safety fencing will be placed alongside the removal limits to separate construction and pedestrian traffic.
- Construction on N. Cedar Avenue is anticipated to continue throughout the summer with traffic control changes occurring as work progresses.
- The roadway is planned to be re-paved before the end of the year while the alleys and landscaping is to be finalized next year.
ISG has been engaged to assist with this project, considered as Phase One of the Master plan, which consists of North Cedar Avenue Streetscape improvements focused on the three blocks between Central Park and Rose Street.
