W. 20th Avenue - Quail Street Park to Nelson Street Project
W. 20th Avenue Sidewalk and Drainage Improvements Project – Quail Park to Nelson Street
Project Description
This project will install sidewalk, curb and gutter, and storm sewer inlets and pipes on the south side of 20th Avenue from Quail Street Park to Nelson Street. With the installation of storm sewer, the existing ditches and cross culverts on the south side of 20th Avenue will be removed, and the sidewalk will be continuous from Simms Street to Kipling Street.
