COUNTY News:

Hasse Contracting Company Inc., under contract with Los Alamos County Public Works to construct the Urban Trail Phase I & II Multi-use Trail Project, will be continuing construction activities at three different locations downtown and off Canyon Road during the week of Jan. 28.

Weather permitting, areas impacted include:

Work Zone Area 1: Within the Fuller Lodge grounds adjacent to Central Ave. and heading north towards the Romero Cabin – There will be occasional brief flagger operations on Central and 19th St. for construction vehicles accessing the work site. Sidewalk closures within the Fuller Lodge grounds are in effect and pedestrian detour signage is in place.
Work Zone Area 2: 20th St. from the Ashley Pond Park parking lot driveway north to the Youth Activity Center driveway and from Central Ave. south to the main access to 475 20th St. – A section of the southbound lane on 20th St. will be closed during work hours and traffic will be controlled by flaggers. The section of sidewalk within the work zone will be closed and pedestrian detour signage is in place to direct pedestrians around the work zone. Pedestrian access to the adjacent buildings will be maintained during construction.
Work Zone Area 3: Within the wooded area by the Canyon Road Tennis Courts – The tennis courts parking lot will be closed and utilized as a staging area by the contractor. No traffic or pedestrian impacts are anticipated currently. Activities will include removing some trees directly along the trail alignment. The design of the trail through this area has minimized the number of trees that need to be removed and includes the planting of new trees to replace any that must be removed.
Work Zone Area 4: Within the Fuller Lodge grounds starting at the Romero Cabin and continuing north to Nectar Street – There will be occasional, brief flagger operations on 19th St. for construction vehicles accessing the work site. Sidewalk closures within the Fuller Lodge grounds are in effect and pedestrian detour signage is in place to direct pedestrians around the work areas.

Motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians are advised to use caution in the areas of the construction activities and to avoid entering the work zones. Construction hours are planned from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Weekend work may be necessary if construction activities during the week are impacted by weather.

All questions, concerns, or special access needs should be sent to the Public Works Department at lacpw@lacnm.us or call 505.662.8150. Public Works thanks residents and businesses in advance for their cooperation and patience. For additional project details, visit the Public Works department Urban Trail Project webpage.
