Project Overview and Benefits
The project’s critical upgrades represent a comprehensive neighborhood improvement program, focused on resolving challenges associated with climate impacts and aging infrastructure. The proposed improvements within the West Avenue neighborhood include replacement of the existing water distribution/transmission systems and gravity sanitary sewers; installation of a robust storm water drainage collection and pumping system, including raising of paved roads, sidewalks and harmonization within the adjacent private properties; installation of street and pedestrian lighting; installation of new traffic signals and mast arms; installation of landscaping and irrigation; and construction of a segment of new Baywalk.
What's Happening
The contractor is expected to begin constructing the new stormwater pump station within the City-owned parking lot at 1671 West Avenue (next to the U.S. Post Office) on January 2, 2024.
The parking lot will be fenced and closed during this work. Parking Lot Closed signs will be installed ahead of this closure. All construction will be contained within the parking lot, which is anticipated to last approximately two years. Alton Court will remain open during this construction.
Please anticipate additional construction vehicles traveling in the area and follow all posted signs. The underground and roadway work in the West Avenue neighborhood will not begin at this time. A pre-construction public meeting will occur prior to the start of neighborhood work beyond the parking lot.
Next Steps
The project team continues to review opportunities to recover parking spaces throughout the corridor. They are also reviewing the project schedule.
Thank you for your continued cooperation throughout the West Avenue Phase 2 Neighborhood Improvement Project. We look forward to working with you in the new year.
