Planned Improvements
16th Avenue Bridge of Lions Maintenance Project
Improvements will focus on deck repairs, joint replacements, and drainage and sidewalk modifications.
16th Avenue SE & 3rd Street Improvements
Improvements will transform the public right-of-way, with new sidewalks (including working with business to provide ADA accessible entrances where possible), storm sewer replacement in coordination with the Flood Control System, upgraded sanitary sewer, new driveways, undergrounding of utility cables, and new street lights. A separate, decorative streetscaping project is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2025.
