Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians along Alley 7 between Green Street and West Markham Avenue will also be affected by periodic road closures.

The sidewalk on the north and south side of Green Street between North Buchanan and Lancaster Street will be closed to pedestrian traffic for the duration of this project.

Construction is expected to last approximately two weeks depending on weather conditions.
