    It is our first project in motion, which consists of the following revitalization: ADA accessible sidewalks, recycled paved alleys on 9th and 10th Avenue and 10th and 11th Avenue, decorative street lamps, cedar elm trees, crosswalks, bus stop benches.
  • What was the purpose of installing the Welcome to El Barrio street toppers and oval signs?
