Ongoing: Pavement reconstruction includes the north side of Walnut Street, extending from the Walnut 32 Garage to the LRSM, diverting pedestrians into the south corridor of restricted pathways.

The entire project will continue through August, with a temporary jersey barrier system set up along both the south and north sides of Walnut for pedestrians and removal of the vehicular parking lanes. Pedestrian traffic is maintained within a temporary "cattle chute" system and the bike lane remains unaffected. A temporary crosswalk system is in place within the 3200 block of Walnut Street, at the Walnut 32 Garage, to allow pedestrians to cross safely, relative to the construction area.

Two flashing traffic light towers and a ramped mid-block crossing have been established. The traffic lights will be signaling green and red to start and stop vehicle traffic.  The traffic towers have hand controls that may allow a pedestrian to initiate a mid-block traffic stop and safely cross to the opposite side of the street, when pedestrian diversions are necessary, as work may be scheduled to occur on either the north or south side of Walnut during the project. 

West bound vehicular traffic should expect possible delay.

Construction will continue until approximately August 31, 2013
