The project consists of three 2017 Bond Projects, including Commerce Street (Frio Street to Santa Rosa Street), San Saba Street (Nueva Street to Martin Street) and Santa Rosa Street (Cesar Chavez Boulevard to Martin Street). The Project consists of utility upgrades, roadway reconstruction, traffic and pedestrian signal upgrades, new street lighting, sidewalk widening along with streetscape and landscape improvements, new bus shelters and pedestrian amenities including lighting in accordance with Zona Cultural themes and materials.
