It’s official: Phase 2 of the Dayton Street Utility Improvement project will start in early January 2020. This earlier start date will decrease construction impacts during the summer of 2020.

Construction in Phase 2 will occur along Dayton Street between 5th Avenue and 9th Avenue South and will include single-lane closures on Dayton Street, intermittent intersection closures and other traffic impacts. The city will be replacing aging and undersized utilities along Dayton Street, just as they did earlier this year between 3rd and 5th Avenues.

Improvements will include:

*   Adding stormwater pipe capacity to reduce flooding in downtown during heavy rainstorms
*   Sewer pipe repairs and replacing potable water pipes that are nearing the end of their lifespan
*   Upgrading curb ramps to be ADA-accessible at the intersections of Dayton Street and 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Avenues
*   Adding a sidewalk along the south side of Dayton Street from 7th to 8th Avenues
*   Road restoration and replacing the concrete sidewalks at 5th Avenue.

Community Transit routes along Dayton Street will likely reroute in January 2020 when construction begins. The city is currently working with Community Transit to establish alternate routes and will share more information as soon as they are determined.
