Update: Oakhurst Streetscape Construction Schedule Over the Holidays
Decatur Metro | December 20, 2014 | 11:14 am
The Decatur Minute recently provided this update on the streetscape improvements currently underway in the Oakhurst commercial district…
Starting in front of the Solarium, streetscapes contractor CMES, Inc. will begin removal and replacement of the sidewalk along the north side of West Hill Street, then break for the holidays on December 24. Work will resume on January 5.
Sidewalks on West Hill Street will be followed by construction of a small retaining wall and new sidewalks on the east side of Oakview Road. Temporary crosswalks will be placed across West Hill Street and Oakview Road while the new sidewalks are under construction.

Sure is a good thing they got rid of all those unsightly trees. Looks better already. #warontrees #pavebabypave

Doesn’t seem like a bad idea to replace old, possibly overmature trees with new trees, as is the plan. And redoing old crappy sidewalks and streets doesn’t seem bad either.
