 Renovations Starting between Champa and Stout Streets (Block 6)

As soon as tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 7, crews will install a half block, curb-to-curb fence in the west half of the transitway from Champa Street to the alleyway. The fence will remain in this configuration until it extends to the full block, curb-to-curb fence as soon as Monday, Sept. 18. Patios will be able to remain in place until the work requires the fencing to expand outward.

Here’s what you can expect:

  *   Work begins in the center transitway area.
  *   Pedestrian walkways and business access will be maintained on both sides of the Mall.
  *   Fencing will initially be in a curb-to-curb configuration and will move out as construction activities change.
  *   Fencing will surround the work site and include signs to direct people traveling on the Mall.
  *   Flaggers will be on-site at intersections to direct drivers and pedestrians as needed.
  *   All businesses will remain accessible.

Champa and 16th Street Mall Intersection Closure Began Today

Here’s what you can expect:

  *   A temporary traffic signal will be installed at 17th Street.
