New Leaves Signal Project Progress on 16th Street
[https://mcusercontent.com/fc34ba15e6547b8d998f63f6a/_compresseds/5a74d157-388a-e264-c53d-5bb16d286ee7.jpg]
Springtime on 16th Street is looking greener than ever as the first of the new trees start to bud. The project team has completed planting trees between Market and Arapahoe Streets (Blocks 1-3), and continues to make progress between Arapahoe and Curtis Streets (Block 4).
Tree planting, which occurs late in Phase 1 of a block's reconstruction, signals the approach of Phase 2 when sidewalk pavers are installed. Phase 2 is the last stretch of construction that requires full-block fencing. Once the sidewalk pavers are complete, the bulk of the fencing comes down and is isolated to smaller areas for a few days at a time while play and shade structures, seating, lighting, and Moments of Joy<https://cig-pr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc34ba15e6547b8d998f63f6a&id=9f24d4e536&e=0e4069ae0b> are installed to complete each block.
As springtime emerges on 16th Street, the project team is eager to bring the first four blocks (Market to Curtis Street) of the Mall through their final stages of reconstruction. To find individual block timelines, please visit our Current Project Activities<https://cig-pr.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fc34ba15e6547b8d998f63f6a&id=ee0c7c64b4&e=0e4069ae0b> page — block-by-block drop downs show current activities, milestone progress and schedules for each block.
