• Temporary lane closures will occur during non-peak hours.
• Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the duration of the project with only short-term detours.
• Access to businesses, residences, and bus stops will be maintained.
• Upgrades include a “Do Not Block” pavement message at Adams Lane: "Don't Block the Box."
