November Renovations

Phase 1 & 2 – MBC Mech/Life Safety & City Office Improvements

  • Construction work continues in the South West corner of the Ground and First Floors (Light Rail/3rd Ave side): These areas are closed to building traffic.
  • Construction is also occurring in the North East corner of the First Floor(4th St/4th Ave side): A construction barrier has been installed; this area remains open for building traffic.
  • Construction will start in early December in the South West corner of the 2nd Floor. Building traffic through this corridor will remain open.

Phase B - Facility Safety Improvements

  • Construction started in mid-October and focuses on the (4) mechanical shafts located at the corner of each floor, starting at the attic level, and moving down to the ground floor. The project includes masonry, installation of fire damper ducts and sprinkler work to ensure each shaft meets a 2 Hour fire code rating. There should be minimal operational impact other than occasional construction noise coming from the mechanical shafts

Fourth Street Sidewalk updates

  • As the City continues its 4th street corridor replacement project, the City Hall/Courthouse sidewalk between 3rd and 4th Avenue will have a new look.
  • The corridor itself is complete and includes two East bound vehicles lanes, a short-term parking lane, and a designated bicycle lane.
  • New Bicycle Racks will be installed in November and Granite Benches start to arrive in early December.
