Neighborhood streets in the area extending from France Ave S to Xerxes Ave S, and from 47th St W to 51st St W. FultonProject overview
The City is planning to improve the streets in the western part of the Fulton neighborhood. The planning and public input phase is underway.
Pedestrian ramp upgrades will begin this year, south of 50th Street. Pavement resurfacing will begin in 2026 including replacement of select curbs and gutters.
Public Works is gathering input on improvements for walking, rolling, biking, and driving. The project will include the following elements:
Safety improvements
We’ll evaluate changes to the existing street configuration to improve safety.
This includes:
- Installing an accessible curb ramp at corners where there is a need.
- Intersection improvements to make it safer to walk across the street.
- Installation of all ages and abilities bikeway connections.
Pavement work
We’ll do work ranging from pavement resurfacing to street reconstruction.
Storm sewer improvements
We’ll improve underground storm sewer pipes within the right of way where needed. This is to address pipe condition or help with urban flooding.
