Construction for the Week of 12/3

Among other work planned this week, Allens Lane will be detoured on Tuesday 12/4 and Wednesday 12/5. Check www.Ltsp.edu/germantownave for alternate routes if you normally take Allens Lane to campus. No work is planned for Sunday 12/2 that might cause problems to guests for Advent Vespers. Here are more details on the week ahead:

WORK PLANNED FOR NEXT WEEK:
West side work near intersection with Allens Lane: On Tuesday, there is work scheduled to take place outside Mr. Peepers Optical next to Wawa. On Wednesday and Thursday, there is work scheduled on the west curbline between Wawa and Gowen Avenue. Two-way traffic will be maintained. This work will continue into the intersection with Gowen the following week. Businesses at that intersection will be accessible.

Work Behind the Barrier: There will be continued work behind the barrier between Roumfort and McPherson. Again, two way traffic will be maintained. It is possible that McPherson and Roumfort will be closed to all but local traffic for some of the time this work is going on, but both streets will not be closed at the same time. Residents of those streets will be notified directly.

Allens Lane Detour: On Tuesday and Wednesday, December 4th and 5th, there is a scheduled detour on Allens Lane between Bryan and Germantown Avenue. Local traffic will be allowed to enter and leave, but cars will be detoured to Bryan and trucks will be detoured to Lincoln Drive and then to Mt. Pleasant. Access to Wawa and Valley Green Bank will be from the Germantown Avneue entrances.

Presently, there is no night work scheduled, with the possible exception of the Water Department reconnecting water lines after midnight. In this case, affected neighbors are notified directly.

IMPACT ON BUSINESSES AND THE SAVE THE AVENUE WEBSITE: As you can imagine, this construction is having, and will continue to have, a negative effect on Germantown Avenue businesses. Please make a special effort to support our business district by patronizing businesses on or near the Avenue now and throughout the construction period. Visit the Save the Avenue website, www.savetheave.org, for updated information, including how you can support our merchants. ALL BUSINESSES ARE OPEN DURING THE CONSTRUCTION.
