NW 10th "Streetscape" (Penn to May)

[Urban Pioneer]

Interesting report this morning at City Council. Approximately $2 million will be spent to make improvements on NW 10th between Pennsylvania and May. Namely, these improvements will involve sidewalk replacement, ADA accessible sidewalks and concrete pads for two EMBARK bus stops, curb and drainage improvements, asphalt milling and resurfacing.

Not much in terms of "beautification" but still notable since this is a fairly neglected area with regards to infrastructure. This is to be financed by the 2007 GO Bond and completed by the late summer of 2018.

They are pursuing federal funds for a match on this project all though it is fully financed through the GO Bond.
