Grosvenor Development - Phase 2 construction

• Timing: late August to late October.  
• Project description: The Grosvenor development is a mixed residential and commercial project on the 1300 block Bellevue Avenue, and is nearing the completion of Phase 2 construction.
• Construction impacts:
  • The remaining work on 14th Street and along Marine Drive is anticipated to begin in mid-September, assuming all other construction timelines remain on schedule.
