The long saga of our old Safeway and Walgreen's stores is about to end. The schedule below was described in an e-mail from someone on the Safeway Working Group:

Until the construction bid is awarded, there is still a chance some of these dates could be adjusted.  The culvert bypass referred below is part of the city plans.  It will branch off of the existing culvert that runs under the Safeway project. 

 

September 18th – store closes; commence abatement as well as commence work on the box culvert bypass

 

September 30th – Safeway expects to award the construction contract

 

October 19th – start of demolition of all the buildings (except the old Wells Fargo Building which is being remodeled)

 

August 2011 -  Planned opening of the new Safeway

 

April - Expected completion of the shops

I wonder if I can get dibs on the buzzer at the seafood counter?
