There continues to be construction along University Avenue. Part of this activity includes relocating a house from the 2900 University Avenue block, between 29th Street and Walgreens. The house is scheduled to move starting around 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 31, (weather dependent). The house will travel west on University Avenue, then south on 31st Street and be put on the foundation at the corner of Cottage Grove and 31st Street. Steps have been taken to abate all environmental and hazardous conditions in the house.

There is another house in this 2900 block area that will be razed as part of future planning for this site. Razing of this house will be taking place in the next few weeks. We look forward to sharing more on plans for the future in this area in the coming weeks.
