East State Street project halves median to aid widening
City Council reversed plans to add a median in the East State Street widening, after political pressure. The move leaves a potential 11 foot green space on the south side for a mall area, while the north side may struggle due to limited right of way and existing curbside uses. City officials must decide how to create a north side green area amid variances and sign conflicts in the right of way.
