Walnut Creek Y Revitalization Update!
Coming Up in the Weeks Ahead
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
The new pedestrian bridge was put in place, and side rail installation begins on Friday, Oct 16.
The construction fence and the temporary pedestrian walkway will begin to be removed on Tuesday, Oct 2, and the new pedestrian bridge will reopen for use. Once barriers are removed, two-way traffic will resume on the vehicle bridge.
Landscaping work began and will continue on the exterior of the building. This work is intended to reduce water drainage across the sidewalk leading to the front entrance and minimize or eliminate erosion in the area.
Interior painting also began this week. You'll see painters throughout the facility for the next several weeks. Please be mindful of their presence and allow them adequate space to work safely.
WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM CLOSED MONDAY OCT 19
The Women's Locker Room will close promptly at 6:30 AM. The Family Locker Room will be open. This work is expected to take 4-5 weeks. During this time, changing and shower space for women will be limited to the three private rooms located in the Family Locker Room.

Progress Update!
Exciting progress is happening behind the scenes at the Walnut Creek YMCA! Here's a look at the current status of the revitalization project:
What's New?
Interior Painting will begin the week of October 11th. This will start in the Main Gym and continue throughout.
Coming Up in the Weeks Ahead
Beginning on Tuesday, October 6th, the circle drive and a portion of the lower lot will be closed to make room for equipment and allow the bridge to be replaced. During this time, a temporary pedestrian walkway will be in place along the south side of the driveway using the vehicle bridge.
ONE-WAY BRIDGE TRAFFIC
Traffic will be narrowed to a single lane and limited to one car at a time across the bridge. As you reach the single-lane portion, please approach with caution and check to be sure there are no oncoming vehicles before entering the single-lane portion.

TRAFFIC PATTERN
While our driveway across the creek is limited to a single lane, we are moving to a ONE-WAY, counter-clockwise traffic flow in our north lot. As you ENTER the lot, please turn right/north and proceed along the side closest to the creek. When exiting, please continue the counter-clockwise flow and exit via the side closest to the building. This will keep traffic moving as smoothly as possible and allow for the best view to watch for oncoming traffic when leaving the lot.
We realize traffic will move more slowly as we are down to one lane. Please give yourself a few extra minutes, drive with caution, be courteous and alternate cars moving across the bridge.

Locker Room Renovations Begin August 10
Exciting improvements are coming to Walnut Creek YMCA! Beginning Monday, August 10, our Family Locker Rooms will be closed as we begin the first phase of our locker room renovation project.
Our renovation schedule is expected to be:
- Phase 1: Family Locker Rooms (beginning August 10)
- Phase 2: Men's Locker Rooms
- Phase 3: Women's Locker Rooms
Each phase could take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to finish. We will keep you posted on the length of time during each phase.
We know temporary closures can be inconvenient, and we truly appreciate your patience as we make these much-needed improvements. These renovations are part of our continued investment in creating a better YMCA experience for all of our members and guests.
We'll continue to provide updates throughout the project and share information about available locker room options during each phase. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to improve your Y!
