30th/Yancy/Avalon update: Switching sides soon

Two weeks into the work at 30th/Yancy/Avalon/Andover, SDOT says it’s about to switch sides from the west to the east:

Construction on the west side of SW Avalon Way at SW Andover St is progressing smoothly. The crews anticipate that they will wrap up the west side work and move over to build the east side improvements as soon as this Wednesday, April 13.

As a reminder, when crews are working on the east side of SW Avalon Way both 30th Ave SW and SW Yancy St will be closed at SW Avalon Way. Local access will be maintained from SW Genesse St and 28th Ave SW. Pedestrian access will be maintained through the work zone and crews will set up No Parking signs.

I hope they decide to also supply a good way to cross the road to the new ramps when they are done. A cross walk at that intersection would really help with the bus/foot traffic.

There will be a crosswalk. One of the city planners prior to the start of construction was out there. He talked to some of the neighbors. There will also be a flashing light. Yeah. Very much needed. Very much appreciated.

Still think 30th should be dead ended at Avalon. The traffic now entering the intersection can go to Genesee, turn right and then turn right again at the light at Avalon. Now there is traffic entering the Avalon-Yancy-Andover-30th intersection from too many directions. It’s not safe.

Sorry, comment time is over.
