About The Streetscape Construction Project
The City teamed up with Community Main Street and Cedar Falls Utilities in 2015 to develop the streetscape plan. These improvements were help made possible by a grant from the Black Hawk County Gaming Commission, a fundraising campaign from Community Main Street, CFU and City.
The project is comprised of multiple improvements to the expanding downtown district. This includes the previous reconstruction of State Street and 6th Street. Reconstruction of W. 2nd and W. 3rd (Main to Washington) is now in the works. Alongside that, replacement of the Parkade bricks is planned to kick off in 2020, starting in the 100 and 200 blocks. Parkade replacement will continue south in 2021 and 2022. Decorative lights and “hubs” (brick area with bench, trash can & bike rack) along Washington, State and 6th St. are also part of the project.
For more information about the downtown streetscape project, please contact Stephanie Sheetz 319-268-5151 or Benjamin Claypool 319-268-2704.
