Ar o Take A Bird’s-Eye Tour of Uptown Improvements Taking advantage of lighter traffic in the area, the City approved an accelerated work schedule to help speed along the Uptown Improvement Project this spring. This project aims to bring the historic area into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with wider, more accessible sidewalks. Other improvements include the addition of wayfinding and beautifying features to improve the visitor experience in Uptown.
