7th Avenue Streetscape

Harper General Contractors have been finalizing the intersection at MLK Blvd, Grove Street and 7^th Avenue this week, and we are excited to have the intersection reopen just in time for July 4^th.

Some landscaping work remains, but the gateway signage has been installed and vehicular traffic will reopen to access Grove Street as well as easier access to businesses and parking on the West end of the 7^th Avenue Construction Site.

Starting on July 9th, the Maple Street intersection will be closed to complete the work needed in that section. There will be no vehicular access at the intersection of Maple and 7^th Avenue during this period. A detour map will be provided.
