2nd Street Streetscape Project


PROJECT UPDATE:

NOVEMBER 30, 2021

The two-year 2nd Street Streetscape Project wrapped up in mid-October with a few punch list items yet to be completed. 


The two year project began in 2020 and progressed block by block to the west. Full depth patching of the driving lanes, new sidewalks, landscaping, and other amenities have been added to create a more pedestrian friendly downtown corridor.


Access to all businesses in the construction area was maintained throughout the project with signage directing customers to the businesses in blocks affected by the construction.

 

KE Flatwork, Inc., and staff from the City of Muscatine met with businesses owners and residents affected by the current construction area every Thursday.

 

Questions or comments about the project can be directed to the Department of Public Works at 563-263-8933 or send a comment or concern, or by email to feedback@muscatineiowa.govor pwrequest@muscatineiowa.gov
