Sod has been installed in all areas along Oakland Road between 33^rd Street and Miami Drive that did not get sod in the spring. Sod is also complete on Houston Street – minus one small area around a service walk that has not been replaced yet.

Paving is complete on Oakland/Old Marion Road from Miami Court to Nelson’s Meat Market. Golf Street has also been paved between 42^nd Street and Old Marion Road. Golf Street was realigned with Old Marion Road to eliminate the odd angles and to make turning movements safer. All of the driveways in this segment of the project will be replaced by the end of the day today. Property owners will have access restored by next week, if they don’t already.

Work will continue in the area of Oakland/Old Marion Road from Miami Court to Nelson’s Meat Market next week including: sidewalk installation, backfilling, sodding, pavement markings, traffic signs, and general cleanup. The tentative plan is to switch to the next phase of the project on Monday, September 12^th. This would mean that Oakland/Old Marion Road would be open from Miami Court to Nelson’s Meat Market and would be closed from Nelson’s Meat Market through 42^nd Street to approximately Solum Lang Architects. An additional construction update will be sent closer to that date with additional information regarding detours.

Current Traffic Impacts:

·    Oakland/Old Marion Road is closed to through traffic between Miami Court and Nelson’s Meat Market. Residents can drive on the new pavement to get to their homes.

·    Old Marion Road is closed to through traffic between Golf Street and 42nd Street. Access to the businesses in this area is maintained.

·    Through traffic should follow the posted detours at 32nd Street and 42nd Street.

We appreciate your continued patience.
