Bike facility users will continue to be detoured to the multi-use path on the north side of Baseline. Pedestrian access on the south side of Baseline Road between Broadway and 27th Way will remain open with the existing detours in place. The B-Cycle station is anticipated to remain open and accessible during the duration of the median work.
The work performed from March 9 to 12 includes the removal of existing medians from the U.S. 36 overpass to Broadway, grading work and the installation of curb and gutter for the new medians. Work scheduled for March 17 to 19 includes preparations for and placement of the new concrete median cover material.
