In weighing several factors, including avoiding disruption or inconvenience to many downtown events and upcoming holidays, the City decided to defer construction to early Spring 2016. Below is a tentative schedule of the upcoming work. Begin Construction: Mid-March 2016 Majority of Work Complete: End of April 2016 Concrete Bulb-outs: Two weeks in May 2016 Punch List Complete: Mid-June 2016

Special Thank You The project team would like to thank Mark Acuna for his help coordinating the electrical service to the lighted bollards. At the encouragement of Cleve Morris and Rebecca Neves, the project team consulted with Mark who worked with PG&E to identify much more favorable connection points for the lighted bollards. The team’s collective efforts saved the City over $30,000 by significantly reducing the length of conduit trenching required to extend electrical service to the lighted bollards. Contacts If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact City staff or our consultant team!
