stairs

The Broadway Stair Rehabilitation project is intended to upgrade critical infrastructure and enhance accessibility in the community. Beginning in mid-August or soon after, City contractors will rehabilitate the aging staircases and ramp that connect the lower portion of the westbound side of Broadway to the upper portion between Partridge Ave. and Main St. The City anticipates these improvements will increase safety and make it easier for people to move between the upper and lower portion of the street.
