Needs & benefits

• The ADA work smoothed out the concrete curbs and sidewalks, and updated the push buttons at signals improving access for pedestrians and people with disabilities.

Economic Incentive

• New roadway surface reduces the need for costly emergency maintenance repairs and unexpected closures.
