The reconstruction project is scheduled to begin in March, and work will last about nine months. It will include landscaping and tree planting along the street, sidewalk and roadway paving and new traffic signals.
A meeting was held early this week for business owners and those who work on the Boulevard to discuss challenges of working through construction. Two more similar meetings are planned for February to involve community members as well as business owners.
