Vine Street streetscape photo update, 5/19/09

A massive streetscape project is under construction , as part of Gateway Quarter Phase III.

The project includes buried utility lines, new sidewalks and curbs, new lighting and traffic signals, street trees, new signage and meter poles, and bicycle and newspaper racks.

Apparently, the project has been delayed a couple of weeks due to shipment of incorrect bricks!

Merchants, residents, and neighborhood stakeholders hope that the sidewalks are completed in time for the Go OTR 5K Run/Walk on June 20.

There are 9 photos in this slideshow, starting at 14th Street and working southward.

Hover over the slideshow to bring up the controls. You may stop the slideshow by clicking on the square "stop" button, allowing you to scroll through the photos at your own leisure. To get a better view, click on each image to enlarge to 640 x 480. Photos will open in a new browser window.

Don't forget that the first [hopefully annual] OTR/Gateway Summer Celebration is also happening Sat 20 Jun, on the tail end of the OTR 5K Run. So, there are two major reasons to hope that the streetscaping is done by then.
