Construction on Mary Anne Cleveland Way to Finish by Year's End
2024-12-03
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Mary Anne Cleveland Way stands out as one of the highly favored travel routes both for entering and leaving Vail. It has gained significant popularity among cyclists like Donna King.

Experience the Traffic and Safety on Mary Anne Cleveland Way

Traffic Challenges and Frustrations

Donna King vividly describes the traffic situation on Mary Anne Cleveland Way. "The traffic is truly crazy, especially with the traffic lights. I see a lot of frustration among people. They are eager for the construction to be completed as soon as possible." Riding along this route at least four times a week, she emphasizes the need for a safer path. "I don't like riding with cars. Even with a radar detector on my bike, there are moments when it's impossible to move out of the way in time if a car is about to hit you."This main way in and out of Old Vail also witnesses increased traffic due to two major Vail Unified School District high schools in Empire and Cienega High. Commuters on the Southeast side are well aware of the construction impact.

Construction Delays and Final Completion

The City initially expected the construction to be finished by El Tour de Tucson but faced a slight delay. In a recent statement, Erica Frazelle, the Public Information Officer for the Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility, announced that the path is finally nearing completion. "The project is scheduled to be complete by the end of this week. A ribbon cutting celebration will take place in early January to avoid the holidays." This news brings relief to those who have been dealing with the construction for a while.It is clear that Mary Anne Cleveland Way has been a subject of much attention due to its popularity among travelers and cyclists. The completion of the new and safer path will bring significant changes and improvements to the area.

Woody's Lunch Box Seating Reconstruction: 3 Years in Progress
2024-12-03
The seating area at Woody’s Lunch Box within Disney’s Hollywood Studios has recently undergone a significant transformation. Once a bustling spot for diners, it was unexpectedly demolished in September, leaving guests with a sense of anticipation for the upcoming changes. Throughout this construction period, the walk-up counter-service restaurant remains operational, ensuring that visitors can still enjoy their meals.

Unannounced Refurbishment and Project Details

The refurbishment of Woody’s Lunch Box seating area came as a surprise, and as of now, details about the final project have not been shared with the public. Since the last construction update, there has not been much visible movement. However, a portion of the seating area did reopen, providing some relief to those seeking a place to sit and relax. Planters continue to act as a barrier, separating the work area from guests and creating a temporary blockade when necessary at Walt Disney World.

Construction Area Barricades and Equipment

Other parts of the construction area are barricaded by posts with scrim wrapped around them, adding to the sense of activity and progress. A grid has been set up, ready for more pavement to be poured, indicating the ongoing efforts to enhance the space. Additionally, construction equipment can be seen throughout the site, working diligently to bring the new and improved Woody’s Lunch Box to life.

Inside the Construction Site

Taking a look inside the construction site reveals interesting details. Pieces of lumber and a metal box lie around, giving a glimpse into the materials being used in the renovation. In the background, the shade structure that was erected in January 2022 stands out. It is almost three years since this project began, and the wait for its completion continues. One of the main concerns about Toy Story Land has been the lack of shade and seating, especially in the area of Woody’s Lunch Box. Until Roundup Rodeo BBQ opened in 2023, Woody’s Lunch Box was the only dining venue in the land without covered seating, and this situation still persists.For the latest Disney Parks news and info, follow WDW News Today on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
