PRESS RELEASE: City Of Albany Construction Alert

Press release from the City of Albany:

04/26/2022 9:47 AM

Annual Sidewalk Shaving is scheduled to begin May 2, 2022 within the Zone 2 area (MAP). The work is expected to last approximately four weeks. Sidewalk shaving involves “shaving down” vertical offsets up to two inches in order to eliminate tripping hazards. This method of sidewalk improvement is an effective way to make sidewalks more accessible to all with minimal interruption to public access.

During work, efforts will be made to maintain an open sidewalk – the sidewalk shaving contractor will be assisting pedestrians around the work zone but there may be minor delays. Please be patient and follow contractor directions for the safety of all sidewalk users. Parking impacts are not anticipated.
