The ongoing road construction project on Central Avenue has reached the halfway point, reports Deidre Rudolph, City Engineer. The $13 million road rehabilitation project that extends from King Road to the city line began last fall, and the city plans to wrap up by late spring or early summer of next year, Rudolph said. The project also encompasses parts of Everett Road.
The ambitious project includes repaving the roadway, adding new sidewalks and curbs, and installing new signage and drainage, Rudolph said.
In addition to making the road smoother and easier to navigate, the project will also make the area much more pedestrian-friendly. The new sidewalks will make it easier for walkers to get to and from the many shopping centers and other businesses in the area, and link adjacent neighborhoods to the Avenue. So far, crews have put in sidewalks on the south side of the street, and are currently working on the north side. These wide walkways with fresh curbs are appealing and make the area much more approachable. The work has gone pretty smoothly, and local businesses have been very supportive, Rudolph said.
