Part of Oregon Street closing Monday ffor electrical work at San Jacinto Plaza; bus routes affected

Oregon Street will close to all traffic between Main Drive and Mills Avenue beginning on Monday, March 9, 2015, to allow for the installation of an underground transformer necessary for the renovation of San Jacinto Plaza. The street will remain closed through April 11.

Putting virtually all electrical work below ground will improve visual impressions of the plaza and create more open space within the plaza.
