Bring your questions! Complimentary coffee will be provided.Update for Sept. 26, 2008:

Next week, the contractor will continue the removal and replacement of the curb, gutter and sidewalk on the south side of Mainstreet from the east side of the Parker Mainstreet Center to or through the East Victorian intersection. They will also continue to place the sidewalk on the south side of Mainstreet between Pikes Peak and East Victorian. They will place the drain that carries storm water across the sidewalk on the east side of the Sage building and begin working on the remainder of the lateral sidewalk drains in front of Parker Station. While this work is underway, traffic will continue to be shifted in the morning and the evening as they have been for the past week.

Beginning on Friday, Oct. 3, removal of the existing concrete paving in the East Victorian intersection will begin. Once the removal has been completed, they will begin placement of the new concrete pavement throughout the intersection on Saturday. This work will require that the intersection be completely closed through the weekend, until Monday morning, Oct. 6 after the concrete has gained enough strength to allow travel across it.

ALL of Mainstreet traffic will be diverted to the following detours:

Westbound traffic from East Mainstreet, wanting to use Mainstreet, will be detoured to Sommerset Lane from Pine Drive to Victorian Drive then back to west bound Mainstreet.

East bound Mainstreet traffic will be detoured from West Victorian Drive to Sommerset Lane, to Pine Drive.

Northbound Pikes Peak traffic will only be able to go westbound on Mainstreet.

There will be traffic control devices and flagging personnel in the area during working hours to assist vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Please be aware that the flagging personnel are there for your safety. Please be courteous and respectful as you pass through the project.

The lighting contractor will be working in the Pikes Peak intersection placing the two signal poles on the south side of the intersection, and the mast arms for the traffic signals across the intersection. They may also hang some traffic signals at that time.

If you are driving or walking in the construction area, please be aware of all the equipment and workers in the immediate construction area, and proceed with extreme caution.

Restricted parking areas along Mainstreet will continue on both sides of the street as the construction activities go on. Please continue parking in outlying areas or parking lots.

The sidewalk in the park area, along the north side of Mainstreet at O'Brien Park and on both sides of west Victorian is still somewhat restricted. If you are in the park, please stay on the park (north) side of the orange safety fence for your own safety. Please be very cautious when crossing Mainstreet, and if driving through Mainstreet, watch for pedestrians.

Thank you in advance for your patience during this important project.
