Melrose Promenade Project Updates: May 5, 2023

Project updates  

Happy Spring! Now that warmer and drier weather has arrived, we’re excited to resume work on the final project elements for the Melrose Promenade project. We anticipate completing the remaining project work by June.  

Starting as soon as May 15, we’ll: 

• Install the new protected bike lane from E Pine St to E Denny Way
• Remove street parking on both sides of Melrose Ave between E Denny Way and E Olive Way 
• Remove street parking on the east side of Melrose Ave in the northern half of the block between E Pine St and E Olive Way
• Reconfigure the street parking on the west side of Melrose Ave north of E Denny Way
• Complete pavement striping, including installing bike sharrow markings and standard crosswalks. We will return later to install the new colorful community crosswalks at E Pike St and E Pine St. 
• Install accessible curb ramps at Yale Ave and E Olive Way  
• Install remaining signage and curb markings throughout the project area 
• Relocate remaining loading zones
• Repair the speed cushion north of E Denny Way
• Complete remaining project elements, such as patch filling sections of the sidewalk and installing the pervious pavement around remaining tree pits on Melrose Ave between E Pike St and E Pine St

For more details on parking changes and other project elements, please see the project poster on our website.
