The new Dominick’s Grocery Store at Foster and Lincoln recently provided us with a construction update. Although they have run into several obstacles, the following will explain the new timeline and circumstances.
On or about December 15th, 2009 there was an unidentified underground storage tank found during the excavation process which required an additional permit from the Dept. of Environment for the safe off site removal of the tank. Consequently, this delayed the project by 4-weeks. During the 4-week delay the ground had frozen which meant that the foundation and precast could not be completed until the ground thawed. With the warmer weather we have experienced over the past week, the ground has been thawing out. Subsequently, the foundation and precast is slated for completion on 3/23/10.
The existing alley will be replaced and all parking spaces will be reconfigured back to their original configuration. At this time, the activities are as follows:
Widen North Alley Drive: 4/5/2010 – 4/8/2010
South alley closed: 4/9/2010 thru 4/23/2010
North alley closed: 4/24/2010 thru 5/10/2010
The project is tentataively slated for construction completion in late July/early August. The grand opening is slated for mid to late August. This Dominicks will be one of their state of the art flagship stores.
Please be advised that dates are subject to change.
