East Avenue Sidewalk Construction

The project involves the construction of a new pedestrian sidewalk along the west side of East Avenue, extending from Linden Street to Minnehaha Avenue. This improvement aims to enhance pedestrian safety, accessibility, and connectivity for residents, students, and visitors in the area. The sidewalk will provide a continuous, ADA-compliant pathway, improving walkability and reducing pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. As part of the project, necessary grading and site preparation will be conducted to ensure proper drainage and durability. Curb ramps, crosswalk markings, and pedestrian signage may also be installed at key intersections to enhance safety. The design will consider landscaping and other streetscape elements where feasible to integrate the sidewalk seamlessly into the existing environment. Construction is expected to take place in phases to minimize disruptions to traffic and local businesses. Temporary detours or lane adjustments may be implemented during active construction periods. The project is anticipated to improve access to local schools, parks, and commercial areas while encouraging alternative transportation options such as walking and biking. The engineer's estimate for this project is $280,000.
