Just in – the new start date for the sidewalk work coming up along the west side of California SW, south of Fauntleroy Way SW, in a community-requested Neighborhood Park and Street Fund project:
SDOT crews plan to start work on Thursday, November 5th. We will start near Starbucks and work our way south. To minimize disruptions, we will only remove as much sidewalk as we can fully replace within four business days.
The announcement continues ahead:
Work hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Parking will initially be restricted 24 hours a day up to the driveway to the Subway parking lot driveway approach. After we complete the northerly section, we will then restrict parking 24 hours a day south of the Subway parking lot driveway approach. To maintain business access during construction, we will install ADA-compliant ramp “bridges” into each affected business until the new sidewalk is ready.
It is unlikely that SDOT will complete the entire project prior to Thanksgiving. If the entire project is not completed before Thanksgiving, everything we have disturbed will be “buttoned up” into a finished state before Thanksgiving. SDOT will not carry out this construction project from Thanksgiving through the winter holiday season. This schedule will avoid conflicts with holiday shopping. Any remaining work will be completed in early 2016 when dry weather provides appropriate conditions for the work.
Business owners should remove all street furniture including tables/chairs/planters/newspaper boxes, etc. prior to Nov. 5th on California Ave SW between Fauntleroy Way SW and the Subway driveway approach.
Metro will be advised to move the bus stop during construction. More details to come. It is our intention to retain all street trees, but once the concrete sidewalk is removed, city arborists may determine that tree(s) cannot be safely root-pruned. We thank the community for patience during construction, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we look forward to this improved sidewalk in Morgan Junction.
This $104,000 project is part of $2 million in NPSF-funded projects that were announced as approved back in January.
