staff notes:

This summer we begin constructing Mercer E from I-5 to Dexter

We’ll construct the north half of Mercer, I-5 off-ramps and do work along Ninth Avenue

Starting in 2010, we’ll do the south portion of Mercer, I-5 on-ramps and work on Fairview

In summer 2011, we plan to construct Valley Street

Construction this summer includes building demolition

We expect impacts to streetcar service, a few bus stops and some on-street parking will be temporarily affected

a communications officer will be assigned to the project to help keep local residents and businesses informed
