Colored Crosswalks & 5th & B Avenue:

The pouring of the colored crosswalks will continue on Tuesday with the goal of having them completed by Wednesday morning. This will include all the crosswalks on 5th street.

Our goal for the remainder of this week is to hand over the main intersection of 5th and B Avenue over to All American on Wednesday so that we can begin to frame up the quilt design and crosswalks with the goal of pouring late this week. This area is critical to get completed so that we can open up both 5th and B Avenue to regular traffic. To increase the timing of the pouring we are working with All American about the possibility of bringing in a pumper truck to pour the entire intersection at once. This will speed up the process and make it available for use quicker.

Once the main intersection is completed we'll be looking at sidewalk removal and replacement as well as the completion of the intersection at 4th and B Avenue. Optimistically I feel that we can be working on sidewalks next week. We are working with All American to come up with the most effective starting point to begin with sidewalks. As we have all discussed we'll be communicating with businesses prior to the removal and replacement of their sidewalk. As well that will be the appropriate time to utilize the Alley entrances for those that are able. Again if you have specific needs please communicate them to me and we'll take them into consideration.

Thanks again for everyone's support!
