Updated Construction Schedule (as of February 2024)

The 16th Street Enhancement Project final design has been underway since 2023 with a planned construction start in 2024. At this time, we have made the difficult decision to shift the construction start to 2025. We apologize for this adjustment in the construction schedule.

We have been working to locate all of the underground utilities along the entire corridor to account for any necessary realignment or replacement of outdated utilities. Unfortunately, we do not have accurate data on the location of the utilities and will need approximately four more months to identify exactly where they are located and what improvements may be needed. The additional time is necessary to remove uncertainty before the construction phase of our work begins and to deliver an expedited schedule.

This will ultimately help to minimize disruption to our local businesses and residents along the corridor.

The tentative plan moving forward will be to separate the construction into two separate contracts:

1. Underground utility construction – estimated completion by the end of 2024
2. Remaining surface reconstruction of 16th Street – estimated completion Summer 2025

Once the city finalizes these plans, we will host another public meeting to review the planned construction schedules and gather input from businesses and residents along the corridor.
