Project Update
The contractor continues work on Segment III of the Mission Street and Geneva Avenue Infrastructure Improvement Project. Segment III includes Mission Street between Russia Avenue and Theresa Street.
Crews continue raised crosswalk installation, traffic signal upgrades, curb ramp and bulb-out work, and bus pad installation. The bus pad work requires the contractor saw-cut, excavate, and compact the area at bus stops. Crews will then pour a concrete pad at the bus stop. Please note, although the bus pad work is expected to take 2-3 days to complete at each location, the area will remain closed to ALL vehicle traffic for approximately 10 days. This allows the concrete bus pad enough time to properly cure before supporting the weight of vehicles. During this time, bus stops will be temporarily relocated up/down the street. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during construction.
Coming in February
The contractor is scheduled to start repaving Segment III in late February. The grinding (removal of existing asphalt) and repaving phase is anticipated to take two days to complete on each block. Please note, the dates are tentative and subject to change due to unforeseen field conditions or rain. The tentative grinding and paving dates are as follow: Wednesday 2/25 - Cotter Street to Brazil Avenue (Grind)
Thursday 2/26 - Cotter Street to Santa Rosa Avenue (Repave)
Friday 2/27 - Santa Rosa Avenue to Brazil Avenue (Repave)
Monday 3/2 - Brazil Avenue to Russia Avenue (Grind)
Tuesday 3/3 - Brazil Avenue to Persia Avenue (Repave)
Wednesday 3/4 - Persia Avenue to Russia Avenue (Repave)
*** Please Note: Construction scheduling is subject to change due to rain, equipment breakdown, unforeseen field conditions, existing utility conflicts, crew availability, or early/delayed completion of work at a prior location. ***
During Construction
Street parking may be impacted while construction occurs on a block. In some cases, depending on the phase of work, street parking may not be possible on part of the adjacent block as we taper traffic lanes in order to accommodate the necessary work zone. Crews may also detour traffic as needed to allow for a safe work zone. We kindly ask that motorists please plan ahead and allow a few extra minutes of travel time during construction hours.
Please see the posted "no parking" barricade signs for exact work hours, days, and locations. Parking restrictions may vary per block depending on the scope of work.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we complete these safety and infrastructure improvements on Geneva Avenue and Mission Street.
