Just as soon as we think we have gotten things nailed down for a few days (OK maybe a few hours is more realistic in the world of construction ) ...changes always happen. We don’t like schedule changes, especially when those in a specific area have been planning on certain kinds of disruption, but unfortunately they do happen from time to time. This week the milling schedule has been altered again. We are being told it should start this afternoon on N. 2nd and N. 3rd, but it may be pushed to Wednesday. This means asphalt moves and striping moves back as well. At this point we are anticipating asphalting on Friday 9/4 – Tuesday 9/8 with striping to follow.
The next few weeks are going to be rather hectic for those on S. 2nd. Work is confined to a tight space and includes getting the work done in the RXR right of way area. We will be pouring the entrance to the alley and the entrance to the Parking Lot #2. We will continue with work on lighting, but there will be spot lighting outages at times while things are getting rewired. We will continue work on pouring sidewalks and downs after the RXR right of way work is complete.
Next week both S. 2nd and S. 3rd will be closed at the RXR tracks on Tues. 9/8 and Wed.9/9 while we do the right of way improvements. Union Pacific will have a flagger allowing pedestrians to cross, but vehicular traffic not be allowed on Tues and Wed. Delivery trucks that normally access those in the alley between S. 2nd and S. 3rd should either park in Lot #2 (enter from S. First by Chesapeake Bagel), park by S. 2nd St. and hand truck items across 2nd through the alley or should enter the wrong way on S. 3rd (but will have to exit the same way) and hand truck items down the alley.
Work will not be focused on S. Third (with the exception on the RXR right of way work on Tues 9/8 and Wed. 9/9) for a few more weeks.
As always, thank you for your patience! Please feel free to call the
