Wilson Avenue Corridor Project Update – January 26, 2024

The Wilson Avenue Corridor is a multi-phase modernization project that will improve safety and east-west connectivity for all users along Wilson Avenue from Second Street to 15th Street. 

Waterline system upgrades are being constructed as part of the project to optimize synergy opportunities. 

SAFETY FIRST

As the outside temperature drops, so does tire inflation pressure. Make sure each tire is filled to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressure, which is in your owner’s manual and on a label located on the driver’s side door frame. 

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: January 29-February 2 

STAGE 2 Improvements: Second Street to Fourth Street
