In Brief: Shawn Riley Band to Perform, Season 2 of "Cash & Cari" Begins Soon

Streetscape to be cleared from Main Street soon

Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Lori Ward told the DDA board that streetscape improvements on Main Street will soon be completed.

The walkway project—which will create a city-maintained cut-through from the parking lot behind the buildings on the north side of Main Street—is set to begin in September, Ward said. The walkway will provide pedestrian access to parking without having to go all the way around either end of Main Street between Hutton and Center streets.

The construction is planned to begin after the Victorian Festival.
