Miller Avenue Construction Update - Week of September 5 - 9, 2016

The Miller Avenue Streetscape Project is an 18-month construction project to repair infrastructure and improve multi-modal use of Miller Avenue, including addressing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages and abilities, providing better transit access, and improving motorist safety.

Construction began the week of June 13, 2016 and will continue through 2017. Please note that all construction schedules are subject to change due to weather restrictions and other unforeseen delays.

Here is the latest news on the Miller Avenue Streetscape Project:

The contractor continued to place the concrete sidewalk along the north side of Miller Avenue between Valley Circle and Evergreen Avenue. Work crews graded soils, placed base rock sub-base and began forming the curb and gutter on Miller Avenue between Locust Avenue and La Goma Street. The contractor began construction of new sewer manholes and laterals in the Parkway area between Millwood Street and Willow Street . Work crews placed base rock, forms and concrete for the curb and paved the driveway at 319 Miller Avenue.

What is happening this week:
The contractor will continue to place the concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter along the north side of Miller Avenue between Valley Circle and Locust Avenue. Work crews will also pave the driveways between Valley Circle and Evergreen Avenue.

Evergreen/Miller Ave Traffic Restrictions 

Traffic restrictions will be put in place September 12 - October 7 during work hours at the Evergreen and Miller Avenue intersection to protect pedestrians, preserve the Redwood tree at the intersection, and to prevent traffic back-ups while Miller Ave is reduced to one lane in this highly impacted area.

What to expect:
  • Motorists travelling on Evergreen Avenue will not be allowed to turn left onto in-bound Miller Avenue. Right turns onto outbound Miller Avenue will be permitted.
  • Motorists travelling inbound on Miller Avenue will not be allowed to turn left onto Evergreen Avenue.
  • Work crews will limit traffic to a single lane on inbound Miller Avenue from the Municipal Parking Lot (411 Miller Ave) to Locust Avenue to conduct essential underground work.
Work crews are posting signs regarding the traffic restrictions on Evergreen Avenue around the area. Local businesses and residents in the area are being informed of the upcoming restrictions.
