Community invited to final open house for Ped Mall project

All are welcome to attend an open house to learn about the Pedestrian Mall Improvements Project, which will begin this spring. 

The public open house will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 12, 2018, at the Iowa City Public Library, Meeting Room A, 123 S. Linn St. A presentation will begin at 4:30 p.m. and will include construction details and a timeline. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions. 

The Pedestrian Mall Improvements Project is part of the larger Downtown and Pedestrian Mall Streetscape Plan, with the goal of improving accessibility, infrastructure and the look and feel of the area. Upgrades will include new amenities like lighting, plantings and accents that celebrate Iowa City’s uniqueness and cultural footprint. Construction is anticipated to begin in April. 

For those who can't attend, the meeting will be carried live on the City of Iowa City Facebook Page beginning at 4:30 p.m. Catch a replay of the meeting online at citychannel4.com.
