Carter Ann Patton Stormwater Improvement Project Update March 21, 2024

I am writing to provide you with an important update regarding the ongoing Carter-Ann-Patton Stormwater Improvement project.

Construction on the next phase of the project is set to resume during the week of March 25, 2024. This phase will primarily focus on the construction of several new stormwater catch basins on the northside of Patton Ave, between N. Ann St. and Clingman Ave., along with sidewalk reconstruction.

Here are the key details you need to know:

• Construction Schedule: The construction of stormwater catch basins and sidewalks will occur between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays. This phase is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.

• Traffic Impact: Lane closures will be necessary, requiring westbound traffic to shift to the south side of Patton Ave. However, a single lane in each direction will remain open, and there will be no detours for this phase of construction.

• Sidewalk Reconstruction: The reconstruction of the sidewalk along Patton Ave will be ongoing for several months, running concurrently with upcoming phases after the current phase is complete.

• Temporary Bus Stop: During the construction of the new sidewalk at the northeast corner of Patton Ave. and Clingman Ave., a temporary bus stop will be situated further east on Patton Ave. between Carter St. and N. Ann St., in front of Jan Davis Tire Store.

• Request for Patience and Caution: As the City progresses with these improvements, we kindly request your patience and caution. Please be mindful of large equipment and other construction-related impacts in the area.

We understand that construction activities may cause inconveniences, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. The City of Asheville is committed to keeping you informed as work progresses. For more information and future updates, please visit the project page.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we work towards enhancing our community's infrastructure.
