Get up to speed on what’s going on in Coronado with this video preview of the latest edition of the Coronado City Manager’s Weekly Update, as well as a sampling of the updates below. Read the full update on the City’s website.
- Second and Orange Parklets: Construction began on Monday, April 8, on the Second and Orange Parklets project. The contractor has mobilized to the site. The work at each corner of the intersection is scheduled to be completed by the end of June. The project includes new bus stop seating, raised planters to give the space a more three-dimensional feel, tables and chairs to expand the dining experience, and decorative medallions of stamped and colored concrete. The project is designed to provide pedestrians a park-like experience in the business district and beautify the plain concrete bulb-outs. Traffic will be open in both directions during construction with some lane closures as needed. All lanes will be open before 7 a.m. and after 2:30 p.m. Pedestrian traffic flow will be rerouted on sidewalks, and all sections will be accessible.
- Subsurface Void Update: The contractor working to repair the subsurface void at Coronado Avenue and Eighth Street backfilled around the new storm drain cleanout structure and excavated and installed shoring for the replacement of the failed portion of the 27-inch storm drain pipe. Once the pipe replacement is completed, the contractor will backfill, replace the water service that feeds the Parker Pump Station, and pave the road. Work is expected to be completed in two weeks.
- POLICE SERVICES – Beach Security: As in years past, Elite Show Services will provide enhanced security in the North Beach and fire ring areas from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Patrols will be conducted from 5 to 11 p.m. throughout the summer from May 27 to September 2. One of the goals is to intercept people bringing illegal wood, such as pallets, to the fire rings. The City seeks voluntary compliance with its rules regarding fires on the beach, including that fires should not exceed a height of 12 inches above the upper edge of the fire pit.
