Included in the approximately $6,800,000.00 grant is the design and construction of all hardscape elements which include roadway paving, grading and drainage, lighting, signalization, walkways, signage and pavement markings. The construction project officially began in June 2017 and is currently under construction. The expected project completion is in fall 2019, at which time the completed project will be handed over to the City.
The City is responsible for the design and construction of landscaping, irrigation, and site furnishings. These components shall be implemented following the fall 2019 project handover.
