Construction Alert No. 29
Pioneer Way Reconstruction Project

Revised Archaeological Excavation Permit Expected Tomorrow Morning

Based on conversations with the State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, it appears highly probable that the City will receive its permit revision tomorrow morning. The revisions will specifically authorize paving the parking spaces in front of Mike’s Mini Mart and hand excavating about 1-3 inches in a 50-foot stretch of the southern sidewalk near the Pioneer entry steps to Mi Pueblo. The archaeology crew will return tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. The screening fence will be in place during excavation but the work is projected to be completed in one day. With the exception of ongoing construction monitoring, this effort will effectively complete the archaeological excavation work on Pioneer Way.

Sidewalks Coming

Depending on weather and likely starting tomorrow (Wednesday), S & S Concrete will return to being pouring the sidewalks in the unfinished section, including those parking spaces in front of Mike’s Mini Mart. According to the contractor’s schedule, sidewalk installation will take about 4 to 5 working days to complete so we are hopeful of several dry days between now and the Christmas holiday.
