Mayor warns of Columbus Road lane reduction for shared‑use path work
Summary
Mayor Kyle Johansen said Columbus Road will be reduced to one lane beginning July 30 at 7 a.m. with flaggers in place while crews install a shared‑use path including curb and pavement; other Uptown utility relocation work will cause brief alley and lane disruptions.
Mayor Kyle Johansen outlined several Uptown infrastructure projects and near-term traffic impacts.
“Tomorrow, July 30, beginning at 7AM, the Columbus Road will be reduced to 1 lane,” the mayor said, adding that flaggers will alternate traffic while crews install part of a shared-use path including curb and asphalt pavement. He also warned of an alley delay between Tony’s Tavern and Savlachy’s Mediterranean Restaurant related to Uptown utility relocation and said Carpenter Street westbound remains reduced to one lane through Aug. 14 as utility work continues.
Why it matters: residents and drivers should expect single-lane traffic, flagger-controlled flows, and short delays in the Uptown corridor for several weeks while utility and sidewalk work continues. The mayor did not provide projected completion hours for daily work shifts.
