South Barstow Street looks quite different, after only four days of construction. The nearly $2 million project will include things like new concrete pavement, new sidewalks, new planting areas, and new boulevards.
There will be pedestrian access to businesses on South Barstow Street throughout construction.
S. Barstow Street construction will include:
- New curb and gutter, concrete pavement, sidewalk, and clay brick paver boulevards
- Curb bump-outs at the intersections to improve pedestrian crossings
- Mid-block curb bump-outs to provide public gathering spaces
- A combination of pedestrian lighting and high-level lighting at intersections
- Special event electrical capabilities at intersections
- A combination of tree grates and planting areas
- An irrigation system and an upgraded sound system
Work is planned to be completed and open to traffic by August 16, 2013. Work on the brick pavers in the boulevard should be completed by September 13, 2013.
