New streetscape takes shape in West End

Moving Forward

Crews have made much progress on the Fry Boulevard Improvement Project in recent weeks. With trees planted, lights installed, and pavers being placed, the streetscape is taking shape nicely!

Work is expected to wrap up by the end of March with the installation of permanent streets signs, completion of a multi-use path, street striping, installation of two pedestrian crosswalks with beacons, activation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Carmichael Avenue and Fry Boulevard, and construction of seating areas.

As the project finishes up, we encourage residents to continue patronizing businesses in the construction area along Fry between Carmichael Avenue and N. Garden Avenue while stopping by to see the improvements in person. We’re excited to see revitalization efforts take hold in the West End as this stretch of Fry becomes more walkable, bikeable, and inviting.
