Several improvements previously reported in THE TIMES will begin shortly: Median for Delmar east of the MetroLink Station to DeBaliviere: design work has been completed; bidding is going on right now. Construction should begin in spring, 2000, and be completed during the summer. Bridge Rebuilding: Major repairs will be done to the bridge over the MetroLink line after the median is completed.
The goal is only to shut traffic on one side at a time. Engineering is being completed right now, with bidding for the work expected in the spring. Sidewalk/Streetscape for Delmar west of the MetroLink Station to City Limits: Request for Qualifications has been issued, and the bids for design work will be due shortly. Design work will take about six months, and bidding will be underway next year at this time.
The work will be completed during 2001. Transit Plaza: The area around the Station will be transformed, and the design work is being done in conjunction with the Sidewalk/Streetscape design noted above.
The work will be performed during 2001.
The Transit Plaza will incorporate part of the former Dobbs site and will be designed to make the MetroLink Station appearance link more closely to the street. Safety for pedestrians and bus riders is also a major goal.
The graphic on this page indicates the conceptual design for this plaza which was included in the overall Delmar Link Plan.
