Ralph David Abernathy Streetscape Project

The Ralph David Abernathy (RDA) streetscape improvement project is in the heart of the West View business district. The project is approximately 0.5 miles in length and runs between Willard Avenue and East Ontario Avenue. It will widen existing sidewalks, provide crosswalk ramps, plant trees, install pedestrian lighting, and create parking-protected bike lanes north of Inman Street.

Project Status

Milling and paving operation is complete and the construction of protected bike lane median work will wrap up by July. Striping layout and installation is expected to be complete by July.

During the next 30 days, the contractor will be cleaning sidewalks/buildings, and installing the water diversion curb along the east side of RDA.

Project completion is anticipated by late August, allowing for permanent striping and signage to be installed due to curing requirements for new asphalt before this work can begin. Final landscaping will hold off until early October 2024 to ensure plant survivability.
