The Central Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project aims to improve the streetscape appearance, roadway re-surfacing, underground infrastructure improvements and traffic and pedestrian safety of Central Avenue.

The Central Avenue Master Plan generated recommendations related to developing a revitalized commercial area that provides a welcoming and friendly shopping and service oriented environment for both the local community and the broader area.
