– Construction at the intersection of W 30th Avenue and Portland Street is causing moderate traffic impact.
– Hilyard Street is closed to all traffic except emergency vehicles between 36th and 38th Avenue for the entire week. West Amazon and Donald Street can be used for north-south travel. Side streets off Hilyard, including E 39th Avenue and Dillard, remain open. Temporary ramps are provided for homes that only have access from Hilyard. Roadwork may be quieter on Wednesday and Thursday as the cement base cures before asphalt is applied on Friday.

The upgrade includes a new bicycle signal for westbound cyclists on 18th Avenue, improved signal timing, shorter pedestrian crossings, and new ADA-compliant curb ramps. Traffic impact is expected to be moderate.
