• Construction of sidewalks and ADA compliant pedestrian ramps
• Streetlights improvements
• Pavement markings
• Installation of storm drainage infrastructure and upgrading existing box culverts in Rush Creek
• Water and sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements
• Intersection realignment modification at Harris Road and Cooper Street.
