Public meeting scheduled for Downtown Streetscape Master Plan project
The City will host a public meeting regarding implementation of the Downtown Streetscape Master Plan. This meeting will serve to collect public comment on the entire project, but specifically on Phase 2.
The Downtown Streetscape Master Plan includes multiple phases on State Street from Second to 12th Streets and includes curbs, ADA ramps, sidewalks, decorative lighting, soil cells, trees, landscaping, and green space. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 encompass South Park Row to 12th Street.
Phase 1, currently out for bid and scheduled to be completed in 2024, includes:
- New curbs
- Decorative lighting
- Soil cells
Phase 2, scheduled to be bid later this year and completed in 2024, includes:
- New sidewalks
- Planter areas for new sidewalk trees
- Decorative stamped, colored concrete installed between planter areas
- Curb ramps that are Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant
New sidewalks will be installed along with new ADA ramps at the street intersections. Planter areas will be added with stamped colored concrete installed between the planter areas.
