Access and parking in Town Center from Swirl Frozen Yogurt to the alleyway will be closed August 17 to September 2. The access near Starbucks has re-opened and the drive-thru is back to its normal route.

During the closure, KLB construction will replace the culvert under the Town Center entrance near Swirl/Subway (L40) with a 20’ wide x 140’ long concrete box culvert.

This task also includes stabilization of the stream bed and culvert bed. Disturbed areas will also be revegetated with approximately 300 native plants. KLB Construction will install split rail fencing to delineate and protect environmentally sensitives areas and a pre-cast wall behind the town center to protect the businesses from flooding.

The project is currently on schedule and on budget. The City expects the contractor to complete the in-stream work by September 15th and the project in October 2015.
