May 9 – The construction on the 374 Grand Ave parking lot is officially underway! We are about halfway through the demo and as of today, 83 and 85 Woosley St have officially been torn down. The construction crew will be taking down 87 on Wednesday and then clearing the lots of all debris for the remainder of the week.
Also, a friendly reminder if you are parking at 374, please do not use patient parking spots and if you are parking in the pizza lot, please use only the parking spots that are marked with “FHCHC staff parking”.
We have been documenting this process each day with videos and photos. Please click on the link below to see the updates:
April 27 – The construction of the 374 Grand Ave. parking lot has begun, thank you all for being so patient and cooperative during this process.
We wanted to provide everyone with an update. Starting next week, the construction crew will begin the demolition process on the buildings at 83, 85, and 87 Woolsey St. They will do their best to minimize the impact to everyone including our neighbors. That being said, you may hear some noise or feel some vibrations from the machinery being used. An excavator, as pictured below, will be used to bring down the buildings.
Fortunately, this phase of the project should only last about 2 weeks. For safety reasons, there may be fewer parking spaces available around the buildings being demoed, during active demolition.
Also, a friendly reminder if you are parking at 374, please do not use patient parking spots and if you are parking in the pizza lot, please use only the parking spots that are marked with “FHCHC staff parking”.
Please email us at communityrelations@fhchc.org if you have any questions or concerns.
April 07 – We are excited to announce construction will begin (April 10th) to expand the 374 Grand Avenue parking lot. The project will standardize the size of parking spaces, widen drive lanes, and when fully complete increase spaces from 47 to 67. The project will also improve landscaping, lighting, and reconfigure the lot for easier access to all parking spaces. No work will be done in the 350 Grand parking lot.
Construction will last about 4 months. The first phase will fence the 83, 85 and 87 Woolsey Street properties for building demolition. You will see cones and areas marked off for the fence installation. As this is a construction zone, we encourage caution when you are in or around the parking lot. Active construction zones will be fenced off.
Our goal is to maintain the current number of patient spaces and only reduce staff spaces during the 4 month construction period. Staff are able to also park at 350 Grand lot, John Martinez School, and the lot at the corner of James and Grand Ave (382-394 Grand Avenue) as well as public street parking. Staff parking is not permitted in patient designated spots at any time. For the James and Grand lotplease park in 11 designated FHCHC spots only, not in other tenant spaces.
We will keep you posted as the construction progresses.
We know this will be an inconvenience and appreciate your patience and willingness to use alternative parking and modes of transportation.
