Body
City Council approved the design contract for the reconstruction of Front Street from Ebrite to Galloway on June 18, 2018. Since approval of the initial design contract, a preferred concept option was developed through the Downtown Infrastructure Plan.

• Hardscape, landscape, site elements, irrigation, electrical, and lighting associated with Front Street Station, located along the north side of Front Street between Broad Street and Galloway Avenue, as well as McCullough Plaza, located at 209 West Main Street
• Layout of two parking areas, one between Ebrite Street and Broad Street, one between Lancaster Avenue and Galloway Avenue
• Steel Arcade design for gateway between Front Street Station and Main Street, through McCullough Plaza
• Shade structure within Front Street Station
• Wayfinding/Gateway signs
• Design of a concrete retaining wall along the north side of Front Street Station
• Design of six-foot sidewalk along the west side of Galloway Avenue, from Front Street to Texas Street. Associated Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) coordination for sidewalk and rail crossing
• Supplemental topographic survey and geotechnical engineering services associated with the above-mentioned improvements
Financial Implications
This project will be funded through Towne Centre Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone funds.
