Downtown Staircase Closure Begins August 3

The 9th Street and Commerce Street Staircase is scheduled to close beginning August 3 for about one month as crews make structural repairs and repaint staircases connected to the downtown parking facility. The city says the work depends on weather and construction conditions, and visitors should follow posted signs and use caution near active work areas. A related Washington Street closure from Church Street to Harrison Street remains in effect while the streetscape restoration project continues.
