Flood Project work continues to impact traffic on Soscol Avenue between Pearl and Vallejo Streets, with periodic closures and with Soscol reduced to one lane in each direction at times.  The traffic signal at Soscol Avenue and McKinstry Street has been put into yellow flash mode for north and south bound traffic on Soscol and red flash mode for westbound traffic on McKinstry, and barriers are in place to prohibit left turns from south-bound Soscol Avenue to McKinstry Street to facilitate work.  The intersection will remain in this configuration for several weeks to allow for construction of retaining walls, roadway fills, curb and gutter, sewer lines, water lines and paving in the north bound lanes on Soscol Avenue.  After completion of the northbound lanes, traffic will be shifted and the south bound lanes will be raised.

Also, Third Street will be partially closed between Soscol and Burnell on Monday and Tuesday next week with full Third Street closure scheduled for Wednesday September 1^st until December 15^th.  Also, to facilitate a safe detour route, the new traffic signal at Eighth and Soscol will be activated on Monday August 30^th.  

In addition,  a meeting will be set up next week between Suulutaaq and Third Street residents to answer any questions they may have and address their specific concerns.

Soscol will be closed on Monday, August 23 from 7:00 am through Thursday, August 26 at 6:00 pm.  The closure is a result of the installation of a new sanitary sewer line that runs perpendicular to Soscol Avenue and under the tracks.  The same detour and closure routes will be used as was previously done on Soscol Avenue.  Message boards are running now through Monday, August 23 to advise motorists of this pending closure.

Third Street will be closed Monday, August 30th and will remain closed until December 15^th.  Although the street was previously expected to be closed on Monday, August 16^th, it has now been pushed back by two weeks.  Several utility conflicts have come to light recently.  Delaying the closure will allow Suulutaaq and the multiple agencies involved in the project to incorporate the resolution of these conflicts into the existing schedule to ensure the most efficient work sequencing occurs to minimize the closure duration

Message boards will announce this closure during the week of August 23rd - one week prior to the actual closure.  A new signal on 8^th Street at Soscol Avenue has been installed to maintain a steady flow of traffic.  Auto and pedestrian detour signs will be put in place to indicate the detours to First Street, Burnell Street,  and additional parking for customers.

Also, Suulutaaq has included signage showing the names of the businesses that will remain open during the Third Street construction to encourage traffic to these local businesses.

We wanted to let you know about some pile driving activities that are set to occur this Sunday, August 1^st for the bridge work on the Napa River Bridge.  There will be construction activity between First and Third Street happening during the hours of 10:00 am -2:00 pm but the actual noise from the pile driving will only occur for approximately 1 ½ hours within this time period.

The added work hours are necessary to make up time lost due to debris and hard sub-surface conditions encountered in constructing the bridge foundations.  These additional work hours are necessary to meet conditions within the environmental permits for working within the river and also to maintain our schedule of completing the overall project by the end of 2011. 

At this time, we believe the pile driving activity will occur every Sunday through October, but if that should that change, we will certainly let you know.  During the week of Monday through Friday, pile driving hours have been set from 8:00 am to 7:30pm.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we appreciate your patience with this activity.
