PEDESTRIAN ACCESS

Both blocks of 100 Avenue have pedestrian access! However, some businesses are using alternative entrances.  Please ask flag persons or workers on site for assistance locating specific businesses.

Pedestrians can walk on the sidewalk base concrete on the first block of 100 Avenue between 102 Street and 101 Street.  The sidewalk on the east side of the intersection of 102 Street and 100 Avenue will also be open to pedestrians in the near future.  

Please use caution around the construction zone, and ask workers or flag persons around the site for assistance navigating.


UPCOMING CONSTRUCTION
  • Crews are continuing paving stone installation on the first block of 100 Avenue from 102 Street to 101 Street! 
  • From 101 Street to 100 Street, seat walls, concrete headers, and curbs are being installed.  Base concrete installation will follow shortly on this block. 
  • Brick and electrical work is also scheduled to occur along the west side of 100 Street later in the week.  

UPCOMING TRAFFIC ACCOMMODATIONS

In the upcoming week, southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane of travel on 100 Street from 101 Avenue to 100 Avenue.  This single lane closure expected to last a day and may cause minor traffic delays.
