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
- All residents parking on the north alley will need have their cars parked at the Church starting 4/05/2010, cars can park at the Church starting 10pm on Easter Sunday, April 4th. No cars can park at the church on Easter Sunday until after 10pm.
- On 4/8/2010, all residents parking on the north alley will be able to park back in their respective parking spaces.
South alley closed: 4/9/2010 thru 4/23/2010
- All residents parking on the south alley will need have their cars parked at the Church by the end of the day on Friday, April 9th.
- On 4/23/2010, all residents will be able to park back in their respective parking spaces.
North alley closed: 4/24/2010 thru 5/10/2010
- All residents parking on the north alley will need have their cars parked at the Church by the end of the day on Saturday, April 24th.
- On 5/10/2010, all residents will be able to park back in their respective parking spaces.
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.
