Approval of a 96-hour Full Closure of the Intersection of NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE for the Construction of 152nd Main Street Project
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The 152nd Avenue Main Street project plans to close the intersection of NE 24th Street and 152nd Avenue NE for a maximum of 96 hours during construction to create a new design profile and improvements to the intersection, reduce overall project cost, increase contractor production, and decrease travel impacts on nearby businesses and the community. This closure would be coordinated with other roadway closures in the vicinity to ensure adequate detour routes. Once a contractor has been selected and a project schedule submitted to the city we will develop a detailed public outreach program to notify the public about the closure using a combination of direct mail, project handouts, social media (Facebook, Twitter, City web site), variable-message sign boards, fixed signage, and other approaches. The closer the project gets to executing this requested closure the more comprehensive and detailed that effort will become with the goal being zero surprises.
