Central Avenue Streetscape, North
2005, $1,520,000 (Medford Urban Renewal Agency $1,500,000, City of Medford $20,000)Over a 10-month period, the Agency's contractor rebuilt Central Avenue from 4th Street to Main Street including the adjoining parking lots, sidewalks, streets, and alleys. New streetlights, traffic signals, sidewalks and street trees were added along Central Avenue, 5th Street, 6th Street, Front Street, and Bartlett Street. These amenities, along with the addition of new storm drains, fire hydrants, and water lines, increased the pedestrian-accessiblity and economic viability to the area.
Environmentally, the area is cleaner with the de-commissioning of three under-ground storage tanks that were discovered during the construction.
