FY18 - Downtown Alleyway Improvements
Basic Project Information
Renovate both the Post Office Alley and the Varsity Alley in Downtown. In the PO Alley, we will be re-paving the sidewalk, replacing planters, replacing the railing along the stairs down to the Teen Center, installing a new brick screening wall, constructing an archway and installing brass lettering in the sidewalk on both ends of the Alley with the name of the alley. In Varsity, we will be replacing lighting, constructing arches on both ends, fixing the stairs on the north side of the trash compactor, and replacing some railing on the south side of the compactor. We'll be removing two trees, one in each alley (and possibly two in PO Alley), and replacing them with more appropriate greenery for the space.
