The long-awaited Downtown Central Business District Paving Rehabilitation and Landscaping Phase 2 project is underway in the downtown area — with one-way traffic control measures in place to facilitate construction of the project.
The $2 million project, approved by voters in the 2018 General Obligation Bond Election, consists of an asphalt mill and overlay of all streets between Cherokee Avenue and Jennings Avenue and between Adams Boulevard and Hensley Boulevard as well as re-striping and adding shared bike lane striping and signage on Dewey between Hensley and Sixth Street and on Second Street between Keeler and Dewey. Additional shared bike lane signage and striping will be added to Fourth Street between Dewey and Comanche. Additionally, the second phase of downtown landscaping improvements will be included in the project scope. Those improvements will be made along Frank Phillips Boulevard from Keeler Avenue to Cherokee Avenue.
The milling portion of the project will be done at night as much as possible with asphalt pouring occurring during the day. The asphalt rehabilitation will start at the south end of Jennings Avenue and move northeast through downtown.
