Some Birmingham business owners are upset, saying officials didn t make enough effort to alert them about the big reconstruction of South Old Woodward.
The third 2022 phase means new underground infrastructure and streetscaping.
Similar to the first two phases, design features will include:
Curb bump-outs at intersections to improve crosswalks for pedestrians, mid-block crosswalks, raised planter beds and landscape features;
Enhancements such as exposed aggregate concrete, granite bench seating areas, new streetlights, and cellphone charging stations.
Improved on-street accessible parking spaces, each served with an individual sidewalk ramp to create better conditions for those needing accommodations.
Birmingham officials are encouraging residents and businesses to sign up for the South Old Woodward Reconstruction Phase 3 Constant Contact group at bit.ly/bhamnews so they can receive updates throughout the project.
