Starting next week, work will continue on the north side of C Street, and traffic will be reduced to one lane. Westbound traffic will remain open, while eastbound traffic will be diverted to 'A' Street. This phase of work is expected to be completed by this fall.
Here's what you need to know:
- All businesses will remain open – please support local businesses!
- Access to the Galt Plaza shopping center will be available via Civic Drive to the south and from the 'A' Street entrance next to Save Mart from the north.
- Throughout construction, north- and south-bound traffic will be able to travel through the S. Lincoln Way intersection, but please note that the stop light will flash red and may cause delays.
- The second phase of work will begin in the fall of 2024 on the south side of C Street, and one lane of westbound traffic will remain open. Major construction during this phase is expected to be completed in December 2024, with additional minor finish work that will not require full lane closures anticipated through January 2025.
- During construction, please drive with caution, encourage your customers and visitors to use alternate entrances when possible, and reach out to the project team with any questions.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the construction of this important project! Please visit the link below to be directed to the C Street Enhancements Project website.

We are excited to announce that the large dog park has been temporarily reopened, and all the new equipment has been installed. The renovation process is well underway, and park visitors can expect more upgrades in the coming weeks.
The small dog park is now closed for the installation of new equipment, and soon both parks will be intermittently closed for grass reseeding. Specific closure dates will be provided.
In anticipation of the grand reopening, the Kiwanis Club is planning a special event to celebrate the enhanced facilities. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting event.
Keep an eye out for further updates on the Monterey Dog Park renovation as we strive to create a more enjoyable space for all.

The pedestrian and bike pathway along Ripken Ave, from Marengo Rd to Carillion Blvd will be closed effective Monday, August 12.
This closure is essential for public safety during the installation of new sewer improvements in the vicinity. Various “no parking” areas will also be delineated along Ripken Ave from time to time, with “no parking” signs and barricades placed at least 48 hours in advance. The trail closure is active as of August 12, and is anticipated to be complete by October 2024.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process.
For any inquiries or concerns, please feel free to reach out to:
