In April, Palmisano construction crews began removal of existing sidewalks and driveway aprons on the northbound side of Canal Blvd. between Robert E. Lee Boulevard and Amethyst Street. Installation of new sidewalks and driveway aprons will begin immediately afterward with completion expected next month.
The $4.5M Canal Boulevard Reconstruction project includes replacing the drain, sewer and water lines, rebuilding the street entirely, repairing sidewalks and curbs, installing a dedicated bike lane, and installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complaint curb ramps. Construction crews anticipate completing the northbound lanes and beginning work on the southbound lanes later this spring. The northbound lanes will be converted to two-way traffic while construction is underway on the southbound lanes.
Information about this project was made available at a pre-construction public meeting held in June 2019. Access the presentation here.
