Why are we spending millions on a project to “re-do” something that was working just fine for the residents of the North End?
The area is aging, and this project will make it more attractive and modernize the infrastructure. That includes replacing old, substandard water and sewer pipes, improving drainage, burying overhead utility lines, and making road and streetscape improvements. This will make the area more attractive for shoppers and, we hope, draw more private businesses and redevelopment to the area. As part of this effort, we are changing the area’s traffic patterns – but that is not the project’s main goal.
