A portion of the Paseo del Sur and the staircase south of the EB will be closed from June 11, 2018 through December 31, 2018, as part of the ongoing SEB project. During the closure, there will not be a continuous route along the Paseo del Sur from the Ford Avenue Lot bus stop to the ART and EB as well as the staircase between the ART and FLN - signage will be posted to assist with detours.
