The massive multi-million dollar road construction project on Central Avenue continues, and the latest piece heralds a new era for the city. Illuminated banner poles have been erected on both sides of Everett Road, to mark a grand new entrance to the city of Albany's main commerical corridor, Central Avenue.
Everett Road has been long recognized as one of the city's highest volume access points, with traffic from the east and west coming in from 1-90. The banner pole treatment will serve as a big entrance to the city, and will welcome thousands of visitors every year.
The banner poles are just the latest facelift for Everett. The busy road was also repaved this year, and to make pedestrian navigation easier, sidewalks, curbs, and medians were added. Look for world class flower plantings and a grand gateway sign.
Banners will most likely be mounted in the spring.
