PARK STREET OVERNIGHT CONSTRUCTION

ALAMEDA, Calif., August 2, 2006 - Alameda Power & Telecom advises that, in order to minimize impacts on traffic and businesses, nighttime construction work has been scheduled on Park Street at Lincoln Avenue over the next 2 weeks.

The work is necessary to complete Underground Utility District No. 29, which includes services to the new Alameda Free Library project.

Construction activities will take place between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., thus accommodating lane closures along Park Street for excavation, routing of utility facilities, and street restoration.  To the extent that these activities may be conducted during daytime hours safely and without significant impacts to traffic and businesses, the work will be accelerated. All efforts to minimize noise will be taken, and area residents will be notified of the unusual hours of work.

The project is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 7, and to be completed by Friday, August 18.
