BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Hemisfair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation (HPARC) began plans for a Public/Private Partnership (P3) housing development at the corner of E.

In order to prevent damage to a newly constructed street during construction of the P3 development, the City temporarily built Hemisfair Boulevard as an all-weather construction access roadway. The Hemisfair Park Area Street Redevelopment (Hemisfair Boulevard Pavement Replacement Project) is a continuation of the 2012 Bond Program Hemisfair Internal Streets (Water Street and E. Nueva Street) Project and will complete the reconstruction of Hemisfair Boulevard providing for the removal of the temporary all-weather construction access roadway surface and installing new concrete pavement, concrete pavers and landscaping. Construction is anticipated to begin July 2019 and will be completed by October 2019.
