Hillyard Work Is Coming Along Nicely

Thanks to blogger Charles who directed me to these pictures of work progressing on the Hillyard improvement projects. Awesome pictures Charles, thanks. Doesn't even look like the same place right now, and I can't wait to see the finished product.

The Washington state Transportation Improvement Board awarded the City two grants totaling $5.2 million for the projects, which include new ADA-compliant sidewalks, pedestrian lighting, and street trees with a new irrigation system, water and sewer system upgrades, a left-turn lane and sidewalks and bicycle lanes on Francis Avenue from Freya to Havana (although these last items won't be constructed until later).
