Highland Strip — Highland Street Improvements Project

November 3, 2021: Official Project Press Release

The Highland Street Improvements Project (HSIP) Phase 1 began construction on November 3, 2021. Phase 1 will invest $6,000,000 into public infrastructure improvements on Highland Street between Midland Avenue and Southern Avenue. Planning and design for the project began in 2019 and has included numerous public engagement and input sessions. This feedback was incorporated into the final design, which will result in a total transformation of the streetscape. Pedestrian safety, better walkability, and slower traffic is the primary goal of these improvements. Construction updates will be posted regularly to this page.
