My coworker just texted me that there is a tree down on west marginal blocking a couple of lanes.

Does anyone know what’s being done on 16th Ave Sw near Myrtle and long it will take?

  When I went by the other day they were making marks on the road for excavation of the NB lanes, setting up “no parking” signs, and bringing in some excavating equipment. If I recall, the “no parking” signs were only through today or tomorrow. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it looked like they were prepping for utility work, but I just saw them setting up so I don’t actually know what the work is in that spot, or if it’s part of a larger project that will affect more of the street once they’re done there.

  We went over. Crew already done. Fresh concrete panel in the road. SDOT doing median mowing a couple blocks north.
