These projects are tailored to support the ongoing development and private investments in the area. Highlights of the projects include:

• Renewing infrastructure.
• Embracing historical components into the design.
• Integrating art into the design of the streets.
• Widening and lining sidewalks with trees and enhanced lighting.
• Utilizing innovative and sustainable drainage designs.

This proposed work originated from the 2014 North East Exchange District Engineering Study, and follows the first successful construction phase in 2014 and 2015. The purpose of these collaborative efforts is to provide public rights-of-way that support this evolving and vibrant area.
