Weekly Construction Update Week of September 23rd

Construction activities for the upcoming week include:

• Shoulder work will begin on the pedestrian path between Chloe Lane and Ferguson Road.
• Crews will finish up Stage 1 of concrete paving and construction of curbs and sidewalk on the 15^th Street and Murphy Road roundabout.
• Work will continue on the water quality pond. The pond will capture stormwater runoff from streets and sidewalks, while mitigating flooding and improving water quality.
• Wooden poles are being installed to provide temporary lighting along 15^th Street until the permanent power source is extended across the future Murphy Road bridge and extension.

REMINDER: UPCOMING TRAFFIC CHANGE

Beginning Tuesday, October 1^st, drivers should prepare for traffic modifications on 15^th Street. Drivers can expect a stop sign when entering the roundabout and that northbound traffic will merge into the southbound lane. In addition, a full road closure at Golden Gate Place will be in place through late October. 15^th Street will continue to be closed to southbound traffic at Ferguson Road with local access to Chloe Lane.

• Slow Down – drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety
• Be Kind   – our workers are out there helping to keep you safe and improve the roadways
• Pay Attention – both to workers directing you and surrounding traffic; put down your phone when behind the wheel
