During construction:
Gourmet Alley will be closed south of 4th Street to all pedestrian & vehicle traffic for the duration of project construction. Businesses and residents should make arrangements to receive deliveries on Monterey Road throughout the duration of project construction. Additionally, pedestrians should use alternate routes, including using sidewalks, to access Monterey Road.
The public parking lots on Eigleberry between 4th and 6th Streets will be closed for the duration of project construction. Alternate parking will be available at the Downtown Gourmet Parking Lot, located at 7th and Eigleberry Streets, and at the Railroad Parking Lot, located at 6th and Railroad Streets.
The City is committed to completing this work quickly, efficiently, and safely. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
