The City took immediate action to acquire federal funding to make safety improvements on the corridor on the following road segments:
- 24th Street to Tamoshanter Way

Construction will likely begin in late fall. All improvements should be complete early in 2024. Please abide by all construction signage to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
