Palms Preserved, Relocated The current location of the palms will be the site of underground parking for the East End Complex, so they would either have to be removed or cut down. Four Palms located on Capitol Avenue between 15 th and 16 th streets were transplanted July 7 th along 15 th Street between L and N streets. The staging area for the relocation of the palm trees is the former parking lot of the California Conservation Corps, at 15 th and Capitol Avenue. The trees were excavated last week and laid on large flatbed trailers in preparation for the move.
Streets is nearing completion.
The foundation pour is in lieu of noisy hydraulic pile driving, which would have taken weeks to accomplish. The first concrete pour is scheduled for Saturday night and will be approximately 40,000 square feet or 3,800 cubic yards of concrete. Set-up begins at midnight with pouring commencing at 2 AM and ending at approximately 6 PM the same day. To lessen the impact on local traffic, the work is being done during overnight and early morning hours. There will be spot lane closures in the area.
