The plans and geometrics for the reconstruction of Harvey Street from Ridge Street to Schmitt Place & Schmitt Place From University Avenue to Harvey Street were approved by the Board of Public Works on March 22, 2023. Due to construction conflicts with the University Avenue project and the redevelopment on Schmitt Place the project start date has been delayed until the spring of 2024.

Project Overview

The City Plans to reconstruction Schmidt Place from University Avenue to Harvey Street and Harvey Street from Ridge Street to Schmitt Place.
