Weekly Update (9/12/16 – 9/16/16)
We’re moving right along into Phase 6 of our Streetscapes project. Have you seen the sidewalks on the north side of Main Street between 5th and 6th streets? They are looking sharp! Take a look, and keep an eye out for plants, bike racks, and trash bins in the next couple of weeks.
This week between 6th and 8th streets, be on the lookout for
- Crews moving blacktop and dirt
- Demolition, removals, and saw cutting on the north side of the street
- Lane restrictions
- Parking restrictions on the north side
This week’s construction will also include:
- Re-striping on Main Street between 5th and 6th streets earlier in the week
- Paving and re-striping 6th Street
Businesses will remain open and accessible as much as possible, however, there may be temporary closures due to active removals. Phase 6 is one of the largest phases of the Streetscapes project. Your patience during this construction is very much appreciated.
Please do not hesitate to email us at info@downwtownlafayetteisopen.com. Our project lead contacts are available upon request.
