Downtown North neighborhood and business stakeholders are invited to hear details about the more than $5 million combined City and KUB infrastructure upgrade of North Central Street, from north of the Old City railroad tracks (near Depot Avenue) to Woodland Avenue.
Public Meeting: Central Street and Jackson Avenue Streetscape and Utility Projects
5:30 p.m. Thursday, October 13, 2016
Central United Methodist Church (Rear Entrance)
201 E. Third Avenue
In late October, KUB will begin to replace more than 8,800 feet of water main and 26 fire hydrants along 12 City blocks. Then, before the end of 2016, the City will start its streetscape portion of the project – sidewalk improvements, new curbs, “bulb outs” and other features to improve pedestrian safety; better-defined on-street parking; better-marked bike lanes; landscaping; and resurfacing.
Also at the October 13 meeting: City and KUB officials will update Old City stakeholders on an infrastructure upgrade, estimated to cost less than $2 million, on a section of West Jackson Avenue between North Broadway and the ramp to South Gay Street.
KUB in early November will begin replacing water main, fire hydrants, natural gas main and sewer infrastructure. Please see the enclosed KUB project information sheets and maps relating to the utility work in both areas. Next spring, City streetscape improvements will follow, including a wider sidewalk that will serve patrons of businesses on the south side of West Jackson.
