irrigation, drains, streetlights, and other decorative features and fixtures along the walkway on
Main Street between 8th Street and Lyons Avenue. The project also included work on Lyons
Avenue between Railroad Avenue and Walnut Street consisting of a landscaped median and
sm
signal modifications at Main Street and Railroad Avenue. The construction contract was
completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer on May 9, 2011, within the approved budget
