North Parking Lot Update

For those of you who have not had a chance to check on the construction progress in the Des Moines Marina North Parking Lot, here is a quick update of what has been completed to date:

• Underground utility duct banks constructed/conduit installed – done
• Existing traffic islands removed and new traffic islands/sidewalks constructed – done
• New concrete light pole bases formed and poured – done
• Asphalt paving repaired – done

Items yet to be completed include:

• Stripe entire North Parking Lot
• Install light poles (may be done after parking lot is re-opened)

Although the work was scheduled to be completed in time to have the Marina North Parking Lot open by May 8, inclement weather and subcontractor scheduling has delayed the completion date. IMCO General Construction now anticipates that the lot will re-open to vehicles on Friday, May 14. (This date is again subject to weather.)

If you have any questions, please call the Marina Office at 206-824-5700.

Scheduled Power Shut-Downs

Due to construction, there will be two scheduled power outages at the Marina:

• Monday, May 10, 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. (4 hours)
• Monday, May 17, 6:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. (2 hours)

If you have any questions, please call the Marina office (206-824-5700).

UPDATE:

Due to inclement weather conditions forecasted for the remainder of this week, IMCO General Construction will not be able to complete paving and striping work prior to May 3. Therefore, the Des Moines Marina North Parking Lot will remain closed until Friday, May 7.


Thank you for your continued patience during construction.

North Parking Lot Closure - April 19 to May 3

IMCO General Construction is rapidly progressing with their underground utility work in the Marina North Parking Lot. While they can accomplish much of the work behind the construction fencing in their staging area, there is also quite a bit of electrical and parking lot reconfiguration work in other locations of the north lot. At the request of the City of Des Moines, IMCO will be performing this work all at once during a two-week period, as opposed to performing the work in small sections over a longer period of time. The goal is to complete the work in time so that a much larger portion of the North Parking Lot will be open to the public prior to summer.

In order to perform this work safely, the North Parking Lot will be closed to all vehicle traffic (except emergency responders) from April 19 - May 3. Pedestrians will still be able to access the fishing pier and pedestrian walkway along Dock Avenue South. The Marina Office and all other Marina facilities/businesses will remain open and may be accessed via the Marina entrance at S. 227th Street.

Beginning tomorrow, April 13, mobile reader boards will advise drivers of the scheduled North Parking Lot closure as well as the closure of the Beach Park parking areas. On Monday, April 19, “Road Closed” signs will direct vehicle traffic away from Cliff Avenue S. beginning at both S. 223rd St./6th Ave. S. and S. 222nd St./5th Ave. S. Local access for residents will still be allowed.

Please contact the Marina Office (206-824-5700) if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued patience during construction.

Temporary Power Outage - M & N Docks

There will be an approximately three hour power outage at M and N Docks this morning while the temporary power feed is switched from the N-Dock ramp to the M-Dock ramp.  IMCO General Construction will be removing the N-Dock ramp in order to construct the concrete pile cap in that vicinity.
