Be aware that there will be construction traffic throughout the construction
period. Foot and vehicular traffic will not be permitted across the site.
Summit View Apartment Deconstruction Phase II -- A six-block area is fenced off, so pedestrian and vehicle traffic will need to go around this area. Work will resume in the spring.
