The project will include a range of streetscape enhancements, such as the installation of sidewalks, bicycle paths, vibrant landscaping, eye-catching gateway features, enhanced lighting, intersection safety improvements, upgraded traffic signals, clear and informative wayfinding signage, and the creation of a charming neighborhood pocket park.

We appreciate the public's patience during the construction phase, and we are confident that the result will be well worth the wait."

Construction is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 9, 2023, and the project is expected to be completed by early 2025. During this time, there may be some temporary traffic disruptions and detours near Lemmon Avenue, Collville Avenue, Shorecrest Drive, and Webb Chapel Extension.
