APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A downtown Appleton redevelopment project will have temporary impacts on traffic and access.
Appleton’s Fox Commons construction project is expected to commence on or around Aug. 22.
While crews work to convert the existing City Center Plaza into the new multi-use facility, Fox Commons, certain access points will be temporarily closed for safety reasons:
- During the demolition phase, the Oneida St / Alley to Finance Customer Service window area will be closed at least through October, with the exception of days surrounding utility due dates. The alley will be open: September 18th-20th, October 19th-20th, and October 30th-November 1st.
- The City Center Plaza will be closed to public traffic, as all fire doors leading into City Center Plaza will be closed. This closure will prohibit any access to or through City Center Plaza, including the interior access from the Yellow Ramp to City Center West (CCW), which includes City Hall.
- Pedestrian access through City Center West (CCW) will remain available throughout the construction period. It’s expected that there will be no impacts to the City Center Plaza entrances adjacent to Appleton Street and College Avenue sidewalks.
The city says it’s committed to minimizing disruptions and completing the construction project efficiently. As the project progresses, more updates will be shared.
