The project will eliminate critical gaps in the City’s pedestrian network between the Hercules Transit Center and the south-east area of the City. Sidewalk and streetlighting will be installed from the Hercules Transit Center along Willow Avenue to the Willow/Palm intersection, where it will tie into the existing sidewalk leading over State Route 4, and then along Palm Avenue where it will tie into the existing sidewalk on Sycamore Avenue.
Construction is anticipated to start Summer 2023.
