Monthly Mainstreet Construction Update Meetings (Coffee with Chris)
Join the Town of Parker and the on-site Mainstreet Construction project manager on Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 8 a.m. at the 20 Mile Coffee Shop on Mainstreet for a monthly project update meeting. This meeting is open to all local businesses and residents.
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.

Mainstreet Construction... Will it EVER end??
And exactly how much are we paying for this??? And who decided we would??? Leave your rants here to share with the rest of us who are frustrated by not being able to get to the businesses we know and love... I could barely get into the Parker Day Spa yesterday due to the blocked street on mainstreet, the tree branch down in the middle of Pikes Peak, and then the construction guys from the giant victorian office building blocking the other side of the road?? Anyone else a little miffed??

"Mainstreet Streetscape Improvement Project Update; Aug. 22, 2008:
The Town of Parker says.....
"Next week, the contractor will continue placing sidewalk, sidewalk and more sidewalk. They will complete the placement in front of the 20-Mile building and then move to the south side of Parker Station. Again, this will require numerous placements as there are three different colors of concrete involved. Pedestrians are asked to access the 20-Mile building from the west while this area is being completed. The orange temporary fence along the 20-Mile building should be gone by the end of the week.
Sturgeon Electric will be placing underground electrical conduit in front of Parker Station for street lighting, ahead of the sidewalk placement. They set the light pole bases in this location this week.
Peak and Prairie, the landscaping/irrigation subcontractor will also be placing irrigation conduit in this same area, ahead of the concrete sidewalk.
Two-way traffic on the eastbound lanes will remain in place as it has in the past few weeks. There will be traffic control devices throughout, and flaggers 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.
There will be signs indicating closed areas. Please avoid walking in areas that are closed to pedestrian traffic for your own safety.
There will be trucks hauling material in and out of the site, concrete laborers and finishers, and other craftsmen moving around constantly. If you are driving or walking in this 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 this and other construction activities go on. Please try to park in outlying areas or parking lots.
The sidewalk in the area, along the north side of Mainstreet at O'Brien Park and on both side of west Victorian has become more accessible yet remains 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 again for your patience during this important construction project."
