Park Place Avenue
Park Place Avenue
Plans to dramatically improve the appearance and safety of Park Place Avenue between 8th Ave. and the Berkeley neighborhood are moving from drawings to reality. Funded by Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District #4, the project will construct a new sidewalk on the street’s south side, a wider sidewalk on the north side, and a new sidewalk connection to the Berkeley neighborhood. Decorative lampposts and trees are also included on both sides of the street for the full project length between the FW&W railroad on the west and 8th Ave. on the east. The project has been a close collaboration between FWSI and Park Place business owners hoping to improve the street’s function and appearance and make it even more of a destination. The streetscape project has coordinated with water and storm drain upgrades to minimize the length and impact of construction.
