Not sure what they are doing on the overpass next to the site.

From an earlier post. Thanks for the great updates btw.

I believe they are lowering the fifth Avenue offramp into East Village so that it's more at grade with the building.

The photo tells a different story. The ramp is being widened.


Could be a new sidewalk or for two way traffic (should the parking garage entrance be on that side?)

 

[haltcatchfire]

It might be to allow two way into a garage entrance but probably also a better sidewalk connection over to the wide pedestrian corridor they're doing on 3rd.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

The parking garage and loading dock entrances are all on the side facing the flyover.

Hi All,
Almost at Street Level! Looking Good so far,
Tnx,
Operater,

The personal vehicle entrance is on 6th Ave. Loading/garbage is off of 5th Ave. I believe it is a larger sidewalk, and a better connection down the slope to the sidewalk on the 5th Ave flyover.

Looks like it will be a two-way ramp, and a lane is being removed from 3rd street (presumably as part of the CMLC 3rd street improvements):

This and few other small projects shown on the City's site including two-way traffic between Baines Bridge and 12th St NE Bridge, and an extra through lane on WB 6th Ave @ 11th SW:

Nicely done on your first post @bullfrog. I prefer this being two way.

Nice find! These must be the cheaper improvements that the City was talking about a year or two ago.

I like this configuration much better. Thanks for posting.

Hi Group,
I will B Interested to see how this Intersection Works Out.
Tnx,
Operater.

 

[AJX]

I passed by that intersection yesterday and they already have the little triangle traffic island that goes between the green and blue lines (shown in picture) in place. So this road must be opening soon?

Hi Group,
On 2nd Thoughts I will admit I don't really understand just what needs to B done on the 5th Ave Side of the Road. Sorry if I Confuse the
Topic.
Tnx Group,
Operater,

AFAIK they are widening 5th to allow for two way traffic, which is good IMO.
