Oakhurst
CMES has begun work on the expansion of Harmony Park. This includes demolition of the existing public parking area, installation of storm drainage improvements and the construction of a new plaza. A new permanent angled parking area will be provided on East Lake Drive in front of One Step at a Time and Oakhurst Market. Ten parking spaces have been leased in the surface parking lot at 630 East Lake Drive to provide a temporary replacement for the parking area. Pedestrian access to Oakhurst Market and One Step at a Time will be maintained during construction. Depending on the weather, this phase of the work should take 10 days to 2 weeks.
Later in June, an area on Oakview Road just south of East Lake Drive will need to be demolished and rebuilt. This will lower the roadway so that positive drainage can be provided for new sidewalks on Oakview Road. This work will take 7 – 10 days, again depending on the weather. Sidewalks and pedestrian access will be maintained during this work. A plan is being developed to allow traffic to detour around this area.
Phase V Downtown
GS Construction is finishing this phase of work on Church Street and will be waiting for the installation of new streetlights and for Comcast and AT&T to complete transferring utilities to new utility poles so it can wrap up all the sidewalk improvements. Two-way traffic will be restored on Church Street this week.
Starting tomorrow (Wednesday, June 10), GS will begin demolition and installation of new curbing and sidewalks on the south side of East Trinity Place. Work will commence at North McDonough and proceed toward Church Street.
During this period, vehicle and pedestrian access will be maintained to all businesses, though there may be some inconvenience. Vehicle traffic will be reduced to 2 lanes on East Trinity Place, so expect delays.
