Our construction project replacing the failed retaining wall at South 13th and G Streets and fencing of the campus is well underway. A new retaining wall designed by structural and Geotechnical engineers is near completion.
Although fencing materials were ordered months ago, delivery has been delayed and is now expected late July to Early August. There will be a break in construction during the week of June 30 – July 4. On Monday July 7, the 14th Street access from Yakima Avenue to the parking lot will be closed, to enable saw cutting, excavation and pouring concrete for the gate track for this driveway. There will also be some excavation in the parking lot on July 7 between the Food Connection Entrance and into the flower bed adjacent to that entrance to repair a blocked drainage line that floods into the Food Connection entrance during rainfall. You may notice some additional tree trimming was done to enable new fencing to be placed along G Street on the outward side of the parking lot light poles. This placement is done to prevent ongoing property destruction and theft of power and wiring, which damages and disables the parking lot lights. We will provide further updates as construction proceeds.
