Walnut Creek Y Revitalization Update! 

Coming Up in the Weeks Ahead

Interior Painting will begin the week of October 11th. This will start in the Main Gym and continue throughout.


PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE REPLACEMENT 

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. 

Stay tuned for more progress updates!
