Signed up for the e-mail updates on the Cali Ave paving/crosswalk project, so we seem to have received this before it turned up on the city news release site:

Work on the east half of the mid-block crosswalk between SW Edmunds and SW Alaska has been completed. This entire mid-block crosswalk should be completed within the next two weeks.

The contractor plans to complete work on the east half of the mid-block crosswalk between SW Alaska and SW Genesee by the middle of next week. This entire mid-block crosswalk should be completed by the middle of November 2006.

The raised crosswalks are being constructed in concrete which means the work must be done in phases. This, in combination with the detailed work required to upgrade curb ramps to meet current standards and our efforts to preserve as many decorative features as possible, requires a significant amount of time.

Some parking will be prohibited in the vicinity of each crosswalk for the duration of the work. We expect the parking loss to be much less than what was required for the preceding roadwork. Please keep in mind that some parking may be restricted for the purposes of maintaining safe, effective traffic control.

Throughout the duration of this work, one lane of travel will be maintained in each direction during the hours of 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. At other times, traffic may be restricted to one lane with the use of flaggers. Normal work hours for the contractor will be 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The planned removal and replacement of the asphalt pavement surface on California Avenue SW north of SW Genesee and on SW Admiral Way will take place in Spring 2007.
