Heavy Traffic Expected for Opening of Paragon Outlets

The new Livermore outlets shopping center is set to open this week.

Here's information provided by the Livermore Police Department:

The Livermore Police Department is excited to be a part of the grand opening of the Paragon Outlets located on W. Jack London Boulevard at El Charro Road in Livermore. The Paragon Outlets will have their grand opening this Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. It is anticipated that there will be a large volume of shoppers patronizing the outlets on the opening day, as well as throughout the rest of this opening weekend.

We would like to alert our community members to the possibility of traffic delays in the area of this new mall throughout the weekend. We would like to remind drivers in the area to drive carefully and be aware of pedestrian traffic on and near the roadways. Traffic on I-580 near the Paragon Outlets will likely be very heavy throughout the weekend.

The Livermore Police Department also wants to remind shoppers to secure your vehicles while you are shopping. Try not to leave valuables in your vehicles, and if you must, make sure to secure these items in the trunk of your vehicle or out of sight. We will have additional staffing working throughout the weekend at the Paragon Outlets to keep traffic flowing efficiently and to provide security to the outlets and the parking lot.
