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
Work continues within the City-owned parking lot at 1671 West Avenue (next to the U.S. Post Office):
- Installation of the sheet piles for construction of the pump station
What to Expect
The parking lot will remain fenced and closed during this work. All construction is 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 noise and vehicles traveling in the area and follow all posted signs.
Next Steps
The underground and roadway work within the West Avenue neighborhood will not begin at this time. A pre-construction public meeting will be conducted prior to the start of neighborhood work.
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.
