| Linden Street Lights |
The Linden Street Renovation project turns Linden Street between Jefferson and Walnut Street into a “convertible street"—a roadway that can be closed to vehicular and bicycle traffic and transformed into a pedestrian gathering space during special events.
To accomplish this, the City planned significant urban design and landscaping improvements, gateway elements, roadway/pedestrian improvements, and utility improvements. The conceptual design phase was completed in 2014 and the final design was completed in 2019.
Construction was originally planned for 2020, with the entire project built at once. However, due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City postponed construction and ultimately broke the project into two phases. This was done in part to mitigate as much disruption as possible to the business community.
With construction and modifications to Linden Street now complete, it stands ready to serve as a convertible street.
