I got a confusing Media Advisory from the Dept of Public Works this week re: repaving and road closure of Riverside Drive. Their map and the text of the advisory did not match up.
Hector Vega in CD13 contacted me to clarify: they're repaving Riverside Drive between Newell and Birkdale. Birkdale is just north of Dorris Place Elementary in the southern part of Elysian Valley.
Vega said Public Works will be working north to south, Saturday and south to north, Sunday. They will be scraping then paving 6 AM to 6PM.
Neighbors who live on Riverside Drive, Riverside Terrace, Riverside Place, Silver Lake Ave and India Street who only have vehicle access via Riverside Drive, as well as Corralitas Drive residents should plan extra time into your driving this weekend. Residents will be able to take Riverside Drive, but plan ahead.
Do NOT use the Red Car Property as a short cut. Brush clearance has NOT been done yet. Please do NOT cut through residential streets in Elysian Valley.
The Dodgers are NOT at home this weekend. The project was postponed once due to Dodgers' schedule.
