Exciting developments ahead! Work is ramping up to prepare for the demolition and reconstruction of the Barney Allis Plaza and Auditorium Parking Garage.
Starting on Monday, June 24, the traffic control plan is scheduled to be in place around the perimeter of Barney Allis Plaza, which includes installation of traffic control signage and barriers.
From June 2024 to anticipated completion in summer 2026, the following impacts will be in place.
Traffic Impacts
- A temporary barrier around the perimeter of Barney Allis consisting of concrete jersey barriers with plywood on top.
- Maintaining two lanes of traffic on 13th & Central Streets.
- Maintaining one lane of traffic on 12th Street, due to the existing garage extending into the street underground.
- Narrow lanes on Wyandotte Street, but maintaining one lane in each direction.
Pedestrian Impacts
- All four sidewalks closed on the Barney Allis side of the street.
- Pedestrian traffic directed to follow detours to the opposite side of the street.
Although there will be temporary inconveniences during construction the future looks bright! Thank you for your patience and understanding as progress is made to rebuild Barney Allis.
