Construction work continues to progress at Buchanan Street Mall!
We’ve installed many more segments of the Memory Walk’s decorative paving, and the site walls and playground footings between Turk and Eddy streets are now complete.
We’ve also started to install many of the new site furnishings. These furnishings feature bright, beautiful blue and yellow colors that were selected by the community during the engagement process.
The park’s new lawns will be planted in early July, so all the grass will be well-established and ready for folks to enjoy once the park reopens this fall. Rain gardens will also be constructed over the next month near several park entrances, and more paving and site furnishings will be put in place.
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS IS CHANGING BETWEEN FULTON AND MCALLISTER: Starting this week, there will no longer be through access for pedestrians between Fulton and McAllister streets, until the project is complete this fall. Friendship Village Apartment residents will be able to access their gates from McAllister Street only. See attached diagram.
Thanks again to our neighbors for your patience with the various pedestrian detours.
We are also planning community meetings for the last week of July to share the latest on the Buchanan Street Mall Equity Action Plan. More information forthcoming!
