T
he downtown and surrounding area will be a hub of activity this construction season. Projects over the next two years include floodgates across 1st Avenue SE and 2nd Avenue SE, as well as numerous storm sewer improvements in both the downtown and Kingston Village that will make our underground network more resilient to floods. Wrapping up this year includes the McGrath Amphitheatre floodwall — a new facility that also doubles as a public restroom — as well as the Quaker Oats floodwall, which started in 2018 and protects one of the nation’s leading agricultural producers. Design efforts also continue on raising and elevating the 8th Avenue Bridge — a signature project that will also include public gathering spaces and redevelopment.
