One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction, similar to 2019. Between Dover Street and Laurel Street, the removal of on-street parking will be necessary, but will be for a shorter duration than in 2019. As crews finish the sidewalks, landscaping and streetlights block by block, on-street parking will be reinstated.
Between Laurel Street and Bishop Street, on-street parking will be temporarily removed within the active construction zone to allow our Contractor to safely and efficiently complete their work.
