The construction sites at three Montrose Shopping Park (MSP) intersections are finally scheduled to be completed. Starting today, Monday, Oct. 12, the holes in the ground with the metal plates over them at Verdugo and Honolulu, Oceanview and Honolulu and Wickham Way and Honolulu will soon become our cable barrier installations. These are designed to safeguard against possible vehicular mishaps that could occur during a closed-street event, in particular the Sunday Harvest Market in the 2300 block of Honolulu.

Periodic partial block closures will take place according to the schedule below. The City has managed to get a commitment from E.C. Construction and its vendor to bring two installation crews from North Carolina for cable barrier work. By having two crews available, the original (6) six working days will be cut to half to (3) three working days. The new construction schedule will be as follows:
