Colfax announces water improvement work to begin March 23 on Main and Last streets
Summary
Public Works reported the water improvement project will start Monday, March 23, with two work zones on Last & Main and Cooper & Meadow expected to run through June before moving to 7th and Cedar streets; council also heard a brief update on talks with WSDOT about Warwick Plaza.
Public Works (Hammer) told the council that the city's water improvement project will begin Monday, March 23, with two concurrent work areas—one on Last Street and Main Street and the other on Cooper and Meadow Street—and that this phase should last until June before crews move to work on 7th Street and Cedar Street. Hammer said the schedule is intended to allow crews to keep progress moving while minimizing overlap with other planned work.
Hammer also reported he met with Washington State Department of Transportation representatives regarding the Warwick Plaza; the conversation yielded ideas but “nothing with traction yet,” he said. The council did not take formal action on the project schedule at the meeting; the report is informational and will guide operational planning and public notifications about construction impacts and traffic routing.
Why it matters: The project affects traffic and access on several central streets and will be visible to residents and businesses for several months.
What’s next: Public Works will begin staging work the week of March 23 and provide updates to the public on detours and timing as the project progresses.
