Porter Avenue Streetscape
The Porter Avenue Streetscape 2019 Bond Project extends from Alameda Street on the south end to Robinson Street on the north end and connects with the new Porter and Acres Intersection Improvements.
The project will beautify the corridor by providing new decorative sidewalks and lighting as well as place making signage at major corridor entrances and a new pavement overlay.
In addition the project will include improved signalized intersections and reduction of driveway entrances along the corridor to enhance pedestrian safety for a more walkable environment.
