Project Benefits
- The W. Fir Street Sidewalk Improvements Project will provide pedestrian accessibility to a quadrant of Connell that currently lacks pedestrian facilities. At present, no such facilities exist in an area housing a large portion of Connells population, and the area provides direct access to one of the Citys three parks. This project will promote pedestrian access for the residents adjacent to the project area and provide citywide access to Striker Park.
