Notice: L Street Between 9th and 10th/Shepherds Court Alley Closed This Weekend

Marriott /Hensell Phelps has issued the following notice for this weekend:

Community Neighbors,

This weekend the Marriott Project will be removing Tower Crane #3, which is the Tower Crane closest to the Alley on L Street. This operation involves some very serious critical picks from the additional crane being brought in to perform the task. Unfortunately, due to the location of Tower Crane #3, there will be too much risk and too many hindering obstructions in allowing vehicle thru traffic from the alley onto L Street. The pieces of the tower crane have to be removed, staged, loaded onto trucks, etc. Therefore L Street will be completely closed between 9^th  and 10^th Streets. Pedestrian traffic will be allowed along the sidewalk, but we encourage extreme caution. If you absolutely have to use L Street, please make eye contact with crane signal persons before traversing during maneuvers.

We understand that we will pose an inconvenience with this operation, however it is a necessary evil and the only physical way to dismantle that Tower Crane. Thank you in advance for your patience and consideration.
