The plan calls for the removal of bricks between the curb and concrete walkways which are deteriorating in many places. They will be replaced with decorative stamped concrete with a brick-like pattern.
Improvements to pedestrian curb ramps that are showing signs of age and in places crumbling will also be done making them safer and bringing them into ADA compliance.
35 decorative light poles, many of which have shown signs of rusting will be replaced with near replicas.

This work is being funded by the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program, which is administered by PennDOT in coordination with Franklin. The project was awarded to M&B Services of Clarion.
During the project there will be some pedestrian detours but access to buisnesses will be maintained.
Motorists may encounter traffic controlled by flaggers as needed to complete work at intersections.
