Good Morning,
I would like to provide you with an update on the Patton Avenue Sidewalk Improvement Project. Over the past two weeks, our crews have diligently removed and replaced sidewalk in front of the following locations:
-
Sweet Treats (77, 81 Patton Ave)
-
Empire Tattoo (83 Patton Ave)
-
Apotheca (85 Patton Ave)
-
Yacht Club (87 Patton Ave)
-
Sonora (89 Patton Ave)
-
Public Service Building (91 Patton Ave)
Traffic control update:
The current traffic control measures will remain in place for approximately two more weeks. We will provide updates as necessary and make modifications to the traffic control plan as needed. Whenever possible, staff will reopen the lane in the afternoons or over weekends to minimize disruptions. Beginning at the end of the day, July 3, staff will open the sidewalk and lift the lane closure to accommodate the holiday weekend.
Upcoming work (next 2 - 3 weeks):
In the next three to four weeks, our focus will shift to the area in front of Jack of the Wood (95 Patton Ave) and Thirsty Monk (92 Patton Ave).
Access to Thirsty Monk:
-
Temporary access to Thirsty Monk at 92 Patton Ave remains in place.
-
Additional coordination with the property owner and business owner is ongoing.
-
A sidewalk detour ensures the area remains accessible.
