Lakeside Green Street Project-Construction update
The project construction has been moving along, though a bit slowly, through the winter due to rain, utility coordination issues, and design revisions to the bike facilities, which will now include a protected two-way cycle track from 19th St. and Lakeside Dr. up to 21st St. and Harrison St.
Now that the utility coordination issues are resolved, the design revisions approved, and the sunshine is here, the project will be moving along at a more noticeable pace. Below is an update on road, cross-walk, pathway and Snow Park closures. To ensure pedestrian, cyclist and motorist safety during construction of the project, the following crosswalks will be periodically closed through Fall 2018.
Crosswalk closures:
· Intersection of Madison Street and Lakeside Drive.
· Crosswalk leading to the Lake pathway from Harrison Street and Lakeside Drive.
· East side of the intersection of Harrison and 20th streets.
· Crosswalks on the east and west sides of Jackson St and Lakeside Dr will alternate closures so that one crosswalk always remains open.
· Crosswalks located at Harrison and 21st streets and at Harrison St and Grand Ave will alternate closures so that one crosswalk always remains open.
Walking pathway closures:
· The walkway along the east side of the lake inlet will be closed from late February through April 2018.
· The walkway along the west side of the lake inlet will be closed from April 2018 through August 2018.
Roadway closures:
· Northbound lanes of Lakeside Drive will be closed from Madison Street to Harrison Street. All northbound Lakeside traffic will be detoured to 19th Street. The above mobility impacts are expected to run through summer 2018.
Snow Park Closure:
Construction for the total project is expected to complete by spring/summer 2019.
