The following is a press release issued by the City of Ukiah:
Great news—the final paving will occur at night! Sunday, June 30th will be the north side (Henry to Norton), and July1st and 2nd will be the south side (Mill to Gobbi), and will include the section from Gobbi to Cherry. Paving hours will be between 7pm and 6am.
Next week, work will continue to complete the medians. Landscaping crews will arrive back onsite soon to fill in the corner planters and medians. Traffic signals are scheduled to be activated between July 9th and 11th. Remember that these will be “smart” signals, like the ones currently installed at Perkins and Standley Street. They are demand based, rather than timed, and allow for left turns on flashing yellow lights, which ensures more efficient traffic flow. No more sitting at red lights for no reason!
Scott Street: Scott Street (between State and School Streets) will be repaved in conjunction with the final layer of pavement on June 30th. This will require removal of the surface ahead of time, so we anticipate that that section of the street will be closed between June 28th and June 30th.
The “Urban Core” project (www.cityofukiah.com/ucrt), which consists of Main, Gobbi and Perkins Street, is jumping around a bit. In order to complete utility replacements on West Gobbi Street while school is out, crews will be moving from Main Street to Gobbi between Dora and State to begin the water lines. Main Street will be completely reopened, and there will be intermittent traffic control on West Gobbi. As usual, residents and delivery traffic will always be allowed access.
Bonus: Low Gap is getting reconstructed between State and Bush! Starts July 8th; will take about a week.
Where will the work occur? Median construction on both sides.
What are the construction days/hours? Construction hours will be Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m., depending on the weather.
Will there be dust and noise? Very little next week.
Will there be any disruptions to parking access or streets? On-street parking has been restored on the north side between Henry and Norton. No major impacts to traffic are anticipated during median construction. Traffic signals at Gobbi/State and Mill/State and Scott/State will remain on flash.
It’s getting closer to the finish line! State street is going to look really nice without all the wires overhead. Excited to see what gets planted in those big, middle of the street planters. My question still remains unanswered. Where do disabled folks, legitimate, actual disabled people needing parking spaces get to park when there are rarely any available disabled spaces. You know those van accessible spots on School Street (all 3) which are usually taken. When I’ve questioned the City of Ukiah about this matter I was rudely told, “the city is up to code”. Really? I also question the legitimacy of people in general using the spaces. Disabled parking has become convenient parking for many. But that’s a whole different issue.
Ukiah may have plans for parking structures in the future….
