Downtown Medford

Central Avenue Streetscape and Parking, South

2001, $1,940,000 (Medford Urban Renewal Agency $1,665,000, Federal Grant $215,000, City of Medford $60,000)

Central Avenue and the two adjoining parking lots, between Main Street and 10th Street, were completely reconstructed to better facilitate the expanding retail businesses, Rogue Community College, and Medford Library. Broken sidewalks were replaced with concrete pavers. Street trees, benches, and lighting were added. All overhead utilities were placed underground and the traffic signals at 8th and 9th Streets were replaced. One hundred parking spaces were added as the lots were expanded and renovated to include storm drainage, landscaping, handicap and bicycle parking, and lighting. There was an added environmental benefit due to the removal of numerous under-ground storage tanks discovered during construction.
