✨🚧Excuse our growing pains while we make big gains! 🚧✨

The 2026 Downtown Streetscape Project is officially getting underway, and we want to make sure you have the quick facts on how our district is leveling up this summer!

This project is a huge win for our entire community because it’s extending beautiful, seamless upgrades to the vital blocks stretching just off the central park area (it’s also updating vital water mains under the sidewalk). We are one connected downtown district, and these new walkways will make our outer blocks feel more integrated, cohesive, and welcoming than ever before!

Here is what you need to know:
👉 We are 100% OPEN: Every shop, restaurant, and service provider in the district will remain accessible. The contractor is working closely with everyone to maintain safe pedestrian access. Keep supporting your favorites!

👉 Phase 1 Starts June 15: Crews will begin sidewalk removals next week on the East side of S Iowa Ave & the West side of N Marion Ave. Phase 1 is expected to wrap up by August 14.

👉 Phase 2 Starts August 3: Shifting to the East side of N Marion Avenue, North side of W Washington St and the East side of N Iowa Avenue, running through mid-October.
A little dust now means a more vibrant, connected downtown tomorrow! Thank you for walking the extra few steps to support our incredible local businesses. 🛍️☕
