The project scope includes reconfiguration of Minnie Street to one-way, landscaping enhancement, pavement overlay and reconstruction, parking lot renovation, and relocation of existing overhead electrical system. Special aesthetics considerations were also an important _ part of this improvement project which include addition of many landscape islands, entry pergola, community signage monument, new street lights and enhanced paving throughout the project. URS has recently completed the schematic and preliminary design for the project and is now completing the final construction documents for the street, parking lot and landscaping improvements. Construction is expected to begin in October 2001, after the completion of the courtyard and building fa4ade improvements which are being undertaken.
