Preview for Week of April 1

9th Street closures for crosswalk work

Next week, the construction of brick paver crosswalks on Camino del Mar will require intermittent closures of 9th Street. During the week of April 1, the east side of 9th Street will be inaccessible to through traffic at Camino del Mar; during the week of April 8, the west side of 9th Street will be inaccessible to through traffic at Camino del Mar. The road closures apply only to the immediate work area. Detour routes and pedestrian access to all businesses will be provided.

Work near Board & Brew

Also next week, crews are scheduled to begin digging holes for tree planting near Board & Brew. Pedestrian traffic will not be impacted but noise and dust could affect customers on the front patio.

Downtown Streetscape construction this week continued to concentrate on three blocks along the east side of Camino del Mar between 9th and 12th streets. Crews kept busy this week with retaining wall construction and pouring sidewalks.
