Melrose Promenade Construction Updates
Construction is off to a great start! Over the last 2 weeks, we've made progress on the drainage and electrical work at the intersection of Melrose Ave and E Pine St. This work will continue into next week.
There's been recent progress on the ongoing strike of concrete drivers and plant workers. We’re still determining how this affects the construction schedule and when concrete may be available for the project. We will update you when we have more information.
Upcoming construction activities
Over the next few weeks, we’ll install drainage improvements at the SE and SW corners of E Pine St and Melrose Ave. We'll also install electrical conduits on Olive Way, just west of Melrose Ave.
During construction, you can expect noise, dust, and vibrations, particularly during pavement cutting and breaking. These noisier activities will only last a few hours at a time. When work is complete, we will place asphalt patches until final restoration at a later stage of the project. Here is more on what you can expect:
-
E Pine St: Temporary, short-term parking restrictions in the areas adjacent to the SW and SE corners of E Pine St and Melrose Ave.
-
E Olive Way: Temporary, short-term single lane closures on Olive Way between the I-5 off-ramp and Melrose Ave. Vehicles exiting I-5 will merge with traffic on Olive Way with assistance from a flagger.
Please note that work schedules are weather dependent and subject to change.
Tree trimming and removal
We’ll also trim some trees for overhead wire clearance and remove a limited number of trees. Notices will be posted to trees being removed 2 weeks in advance. At a later stage of the project, we’ll plant new trees at multiple locations in the project area.
Parking enforcement
We’ve heard recent concerns about vehicles improperly parking and blocking driveways, particularly in the Pike to Pine block. Starting this week, parking enforcement will begin monitoring the area on a regular basis. Please be sure to follow posted parking signs and parking regulations. If you’re looking for places to park your car, check out our parking map.
