Drivers rejoice. The Carter Ann Patton Stormwater Improvement project has been completed, meaning commuting up Patton Avenue just got a lot smoother. For years, the roadway around Carter Street, Patton Avenue, and S. Ann Street has been under construction to upgrade the stormwater system in the intersection, improving drainage and reducing flood risk.
And while crews were at it, several safety, accessibility, and beautification items were tackled in that section, including new high-visibility crosswalks, ADA accessible sidewalks, lamp posts, and new trees better suited for the urban environment.
In addition, the Patton Avenue Sidewalk Accessibility Improvements project was completed in June. The fresh stretch of sidewalk between Asheland and Coxe Avenues boasts improved ADA accessibility, enhanced crossings, and stronger connectivity.
