Jones Street Improvements - 11th to 13th Street
About the Project
This project will rehabilitate the brick street on Jones Street between 11th Street and 13th Street. This project was identified in the 2006 Historic Cobblestone/Brick Pavement Rehabilitation Study. The improvements are planned to include updating the roadway and sidewalks to current standards, including compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Infrastructure improvements are planned to be completed, including new storm sewer inlets, storm sewer pipe connections, and utility repairs as needed. Pedestrian and parking studies were conducted to inventory the current conditions and identify future improvements, including along 12th Street. Brick street pavement of 12th Street from Jones to Jackson Street is anticipated to be included as a bid alternative. Project also includes combined sewer rehabilitation and other utility relocations in advance of the brick street construction.
