The Public Works Department recently put the finishing touches on a streetscape and reconstruction project funded by the 2006 Bond Program. The $1.35 million Lowest Greenville Avenue Project begins on Bell Street to the north extending to Alta Street to the south.  Perhaps the most noticeable change is reduction of vehicular travel lanes from four to two and converting head-in to parallel parking allowing more space for wider sidewalks to encourage increased pedestrian activity. Other amenities include new street lighting, park benches, bicycle racks, trash receptacles, landscape planters, trees, a new driving surface and colorful brick pavers. “We’re excited about this new look to the area” said Public Works Assistant Director Alan Hendrix. “We expect the City’s investment in infrastructure and other improvements to boost revitalization efforts and encourage increased pedestrian traffic that will assist in transforming Greenville Avenue to a more family friendly area.”  An official grand opening is scheduled for early spring.
