Plan your route, another portion of Garland Avenue closes June 22 

To continue progress with the Central Utilities Initiative Phase II and to deliver resilient, upgraded utilities to the Historic Neighborhood part of Garland Avenue is closed until September 2026.    

Commuters can use a two-way temporary road located off 24th Avenue South to access Stevenson Center Lane.  There is clear, marked pedestrian paths throughout the area. The proposed pathways are highlighted in dark blue.    

The western end of Garland Avenue will close from Monday, June 22 through Monday, November 9 for installation of thermal, storm, sanitary, electrical and telecommunications utilities. Lot 18, adjacent to Olin Avenue, will reopen June 22, allowing closure of Lot 16 south of the Studio Arts building so utility work can continue in that area.  

Additional traffic control staff and signage will be deployed during the closure. Temporary pedestrian pathways will be highlighted and separated from construction areas by perimeter fencing to maintain safety and accessibility.  

Lot Closures

Olin Lot will be closed from August 3 to 30 in order to install both temporary and permanent NES electrical poles, and to complete the utility connections to those poles.  

Lot 11 will also be closed from August 3 until January 1. To accomodate commuters during the lot closures, we are providing 10 spaces in the Lot south of Studio Arts, and 8 spaces along 24th Ave.
