As part of downtown lighting project upgrades, work - seen here the week of March 9 - entails replacing existing light poles in the 200 and 300 blocks of Main Street and relocating them from the median to the sidewalks and elevating them on concrete pads while adding string lights between each pole stretching across Main Street, city officials said.

The scope includes comprehensive electrical engineering and the relocation of utilities to support the new lighting configuration.

Also work at Third and Main involves pedestrian Improvements. This project aims to enhance the infrastructure and accessibility on the north side of Third Street by improving the stairs, narrowing the sidewalk  adding an ADA ramp and incorporating thematic elements.
