MACC Phase 2 AIPP artists, Katherine Telley and Ruben Esquivel, engaged the community during the La Mujer event on Saturday, April 26. The artists informed and gathered inspiration from the public as they continue work towards the completion of their conceptual design. Participants were able to learn more about the artists’ goals as well as share their own personal ESB-MACC stories. Visit the the La Mujer event website for more information.
Concrete pours and steel deliveries will continue. Work hours will adhere to the City's noise ordinance.
The Confluence, a separate public/private partnership project, has increased activities at the ESB MACC.
- The parking lot is the construction access point for the east side of the creek delta.
- There are trail detours because of the trail enhancements.
- Additional project information and temporary trail detours can be found on The Confluence project website.
The roundabout and driveways of the MACC continue to experience elevated traffic and congestion due to the volume of work in the area by developers. Please exercise caution while in this district.
Drone video illustrating ESB MACC site work can be found here.

Project schedules are projected as accurately as possible. Dates are subject to change due to the nature of construction and weather.
