Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region
- Long-term projects: Columbia Street at East 17th Avenue is closed for construction work on stormwater, wastewater, and electrical utilities. Traffic is being detoured via Agate Street and Moss Street to East 19th Avenue. Pedestrians can use the north side of East 17th Avenue, but mid-block access on Columbia Street is closed on both sides. Bicyclists should use Agate Street to the west and Moss Street to the east.
Paving work is happening on East 24th Avenue, Hilyard Street, and Alder Street, but the impact on traffic is expected to be low.
