    Project Update: 2/16/2026

    The project is still on track to be substantially complete by mid-April. Portions of the project area now back open.

    Project Overview

    This streetscape project spans along 31st Street between Main Street and Gillham Road. Phase 1 of the streetscape project includes the following improvements:

    • Compliant pedestrian signals with audible and vibrotactile indications
    • Curb extensions (bump outs) around on-street parking
    • Improved sight lines
    • Relocated and consolidated bus stops (31 and 85 lines) with improved accessibility
    • Native landscaping (native plantings, trees, and shrubs)
    • Raised crosswalks (non-signalized locations)
    • Widening and clearing sidewalk paths by relocating street and decorative lights and other obstructions
