Olive Avenue Streetscape project will close the street between Yosemite and Roosevelt Avenues.
A new beautification project in the Tower District will affect traffic on Olive Avenue through July. The Olive Avenue Streetscape will force street closures along the main Olive corridor.
Council members Esmeralda Soria and Miguel Arias who both represent the Tower neighborhood in District 1 and 3, spoke about the upcoming construction Monday. Arias acknowledged that it could compound the impact on local businesses.
“Given the nightlife of the Tower District, it’s been one of the hardest hit regions during the pandemic,” Arias said.
He stressed that although road closures will be in effect, sidewalks will stay open for pedestrian access to businesses.
