The city is upgrading the 23rd Avenue and 4th-5th Street intersection to make it safer and more accessible for everyone. The upgrades involve better designs for walking, biking and driving, in addition to new landscaping and artwork.

With the last major reconstruction in the 1970s, the intersection’s infrastructure is aged and will require replacement as part of the project. The 5th Street Bridge over No. 3 Ditch will also be revamped. These changes aim to create a safer and more appealing space for our community.
