MT VERNON DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS IN MONTGOMERY

complete

This project will include landscaping, ADA accessible sidewalks, lighting, clearly defined crosswalks, a water fountain, and site furnishings. The sidewalks within the project area will be replaced. The proposed sidewalks along U.S. Highway 221 (Railroad Avenue, Church Street, Mason Avenue, and Broad Street) will be made more accessible by cutting the curbs where needed and installing handicap ramps and crosswalks at crossings. The proposed sidewalks will be 8-feet along Railroad Avenue and a 5-foot minimum will be used in the rest of the area. Ornamental trees and shrubbery will be added. All of the newly planted trees will be planted in front of the parking stalls. The mature diameter of the trees will be 4" as measured 2" from the ground surface. Wrought iron fencing, benches, and lighting will be added throughout target area. Project construction will begin at the intersection of Broad Street and Railroad Avenue and continue to Broad Street.
