Ongoing Saga of Mainstreet Construction

Per the Town of Parker -
"Next week, the contractor will begin removal of the existing sidewalk from Pikes Peak west, on the south side of Mainstreet. They anticipate starting the placement of the new sidewalk in this area by Thursday following installation work by the lighting and landscape subcontractors of their respective infrastructure.


They also plan to continue the curb and gutter removal and replacement from West Victorian to the west, on the south side of the street. Traffic will continue to be shifted to detour routes as various lane closures will be needed during working hours. This will give them access to the eastbound lanes during the day. There are no complete Mainstreet closures anticipated this week.

The lighting and traffic system sub-contractor will be working on placing additional signal lights on the newly erected traffic signal poles, and they also will be placing lighting conduit and bases along the south side of Mainstreet west of Pikes Peak prior to sidewalk placement.

The irrigation and landscaping sub-contactor will be working in this same area, placing conduit for irrigation of the new trees that will eventually be placed along this section. They will also begin working on repairing the existing irrigation and landscaping that has been damaged during construction.

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 you're your safety. Please be courteous and respectful as you pass through the project.

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."
