Construction currently underway on the west side of 6th Street SW between 33rd Avenue and Wilson Avenue includes the following:

Installation of storm sewer, culverts and water main
Storm sewer and culvert installation at side streets and driveways between 33rd Avenue and 27th Avenue is nearly complete
Storm sewer will soon be installed between 27th Avenue and Wilson Avenue
After the connection between new and existing water mains at 27th Avenue is made, the new water main between 27th Avenue and Wilson Avenue will be put into service
Grading for sidewalk
Grading for the relocated entrance to Evergreen Packaging across from Cherry Drive SW
Patching of the existing concrete base pavement prior to placing the new asphalt surface

Upcoming work includes sidewalk construction on all of the west side, plus on the east side between Cherry Drive and Wilson Avenue, constructing curb in front of Evergreen Packaging and completing new traffic signals at 33rd Avenue and Wilson Avenue. The proposed asphalt surface on the west side will be placed after most of the work described above is completed to avoid construction damage to the new surface.
