The Seventh Avenue Streetscape Project is an investment in pedestrian, water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure, lighting, and landscaping in the business district. It aims to improve walkability, improve connections to the Main Street Municipal Service District, and highlight the character of the historic district. The project area includes part of the intersection at 7th Avenue and Grove Street, 7th Avenue from the intersection to Maple Street, as well as a portion of Locust Street. The street will be closed to vehicular traffic starting February 1 until May to expedite construction impacts. Sidewalk work, landscaping, and final paving will take place over the summer and fall with periodic closures as needed.
