Work includes removing damaged roadway surfaces, replacing them with fresh asphalt and restriping the lanes. It also includes upgrading curb ramps to facilitate access for people with disabilities and replacing cross gutters, curbs, and sidewalks impacted by the improvements," according to a press release from the city.
They said the project includes resurfacing to more than five lane miles and will cost $5.5 million.
