			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Crews are continuing to relocate utility lines around Union Square to prepare the project alignment for the Union Square/Market Street Station. We expect all utility relocations around Union Square to be completed by June 2012.</p>
<p>The complete, current three-week construction schedule is available <a href="http://www.centralsubwayblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CN-1251-Construction-Updates-01-21-12-to-02-10-12.pdf">here</a> (PDF).</p>
<p><strong>Work Locations</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stockton Street</strong> between Geary and Post streets</li>
<li><strong>Geary Street</strong> on both sides of Stockton Street</li>
<li><strong>O&#8217;Farrell Street</strong> on both sides of Stockton Street</li>
<li><strong>Ellis Street</strong> on both sides of Stockton Street</li>
<li><strong>Stockton Street</strong> between O&#8217;Farrell and Market streets</li>
</ul>
<p>Construction is scheduled seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., although night work may be necessary.</p>
<p><strong>Muni Service Impacts</strong>:</p>
<p>While utility-relocation work is in progress, the following Muni routes may experience delays:</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #3f312e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; "> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; ">8X/8AX/8BX Bayshore Express</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: transparent; ">38/38L Geary</span></li>
</ul>
<p>The 30 Stockton and 45 Union/Stockton lines <a href="http://www.centralsubwayblog.com/blog/2012/01/3045-to-caltrain-to-be-rerouted/">have been rerouted</a> around the utility-relocation sites, effective Jan. 21.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic Detours:</strong></p>
<p>While work is in progress, only Muni buses, taxis, tour buses and delivery trucks will be permitted on Stockton Street between Post and Market streets.</p>
<p>Two traffic detour options are in place to allow for better access to the Union Square area and to aid the flow of traffic:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.centralsubwayblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/trafficreroutemap.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2858" title="trafficreroutemap" src="http://www.centralsubwayblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/trafficreroutemap.jpg" alt="trafficreroutemap" width="560" height="622" /></a></p>
<p>We appreciate your continued patience while construction is in progress.</p>

<p>Construction is scheduled for seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., although night work may be necessary. Noise and dust will be kept to a minimum and the construction team will work to maintain a clean streetscape during and outside of construction hours.</p>

<p>Standard traffic signs will be used to detour pedestrian and vehicle traffic and variable message signs have been placed on Geary Street, O’Farrell Street and Stockton Street to inform approaching traffic of detour routes.</p>
