Commerce Street Rehabilitation | |
Council Member Cisneros selected the stretch of Commerce St from N. Charles to Velasco to receive improvements as part of the Mayor’s Street Rehabilitation Initiative. The scope of the rehab project has recently been expanded and will include pulling up unused tracks in the road, replacing asphalt, and repainting traffic lines to accommodate a bike path. Please note that no street parking will be removed. Project design has started, and construction is expected to be completed by Summer 2024.
