| Project Description: |
| The beautification and improvements will be to widen sidewalks using decorative concrete or pavers that will reflect the cultural character of this historic neighborhood in an effort to encourage pedestrian friendly activities, improve curb and gutter fixtures, provide for a lush green scape and tree canopy. It will also provide for relocating utility poles underground that currently are situated in the sidewalks and suffer extended outages during storms. The project will eliminate widespread flooding throughout the neighborhood and open up drainage easements. The roadways will be reconstructed as part of the improvements to mitigate damages from the flooding and provide a safe roadway system for the citizens. This will help to continue the continuity of service for the businesses and citizens in the community. |
