It is approximately one month ahead of schedule. This month the south stair towers will top out and that activity will move to the opposite end of the site and the north stair towers will start to take shape. This project is located at the southwest corner of 2nd Avenue and Columbia Street. Impacts to pedestrian and vehicular traffic are limited to the loss of street parking and sidewalk access on the south side of Columbia Street from 2nd Avenue to the alley to the west. A covered walkway has been installed along 2nd Avenue for pedestrian safety.
Work continues on the core of the building and the structural steel portion.
The impacts to traffic, pedestrians, and parking has not changed appreciably. The project remains on schedule and a timely completion is anticipated. During May the contractor will complete the wood framework and begin the roofing activity and stucco work on the street level. During the stucco activity intermittent sidewalk closures can be anticipated on South Weller Street and 6th Avenue South. In an attempt to alleviate parking congestion the contractor has opened a portion of the new garage for employee parking.
