Construction has started on the stretch of Alameda that passes through downtown Lakewood, and the plans call for extensive upgrades to the streetscaping of the area.
Alameda between S. Carr and S. Benton will receive landscaped medians, new sidewalks, trees and other landscaping (along with an irrigation system), new street lighting, and flagstone place markers. The goal is to create a "front door" to downtown Lakewood.
Attention will also be paid to Teller St, which will receive a new traffic signal, an upgraded cross walk, and a sidewalk on the west side of the street to improve access to O'Kane Park and Rose Stein Elementary.
