3rd Street Project Construction Forecast: November 16 - November 29, 2019

The 3rd Street Transit and Safety Project is implementing improvements to reduce bus delays and improve safety for people walking. Construction crews are scheduled to construct a new boarding island between Bryant and Stillman streets, as well as repaint traffic lanes, upgrade crosswalks and relocate the red transit-only lane between Bryant and Folsom streets.

The following two-week construction forecast is tentative and subject to change due to weather delays, unexpected field conditions or construction crew availability.

Bryant to Stillman

Daytime Work (between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.)

• During the weekend of November 16 and 17, scheduled work includes building a boarding island between Bryant and Stillman streets for a new bus stop at that location, as well as relocating adjacent loading zones and removing parking. Additional parking spaces are temporarily restricted in the construction zone during active work.

Bryant to Folsom

Night Work (between the hours of 1:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.)

• During the weekend of November 16 and 17, scheduled work includes repainting traffic lanes. During this time, neighbors can anticipate construction-related lighting and low-level noise. Parking spaces are temporarily restricted in the construction zone during active work.
• During the week of November 18, the red transit-only lane is scheduled to be relocated. Work is scheduled to take place over the course of 2-4 nights to minimize traffic disruptions. During this time, neighbors can anticipate construction-related lighting and low-level noise as crews lay down the red thermoplastic for the transit-only lane, and repaint crosswalks. Parking spaces are temporarily restricted in the construction zone during active work.
