Press release from the City of Asheville:
As part of the bond projects initiative, the City of Asheville is preparing to resurface State Street in West Asheville. This project includes sidewalk improvements and pedestrian enhancements, including ADA improvements and enhanced crosswalk improvements.
Stormwater infrastructure improvements have already been installed along State Street in advance of this project.
During an October meeting, residents were invited to give feedback on design options for this 1.26-mile project. Using that feedback and keeping within budget, a design has been drafted. Before the project begins, the City would like to bring this design to the community for review.
Please join City staff for the State Street resurfacing and sidewalk project design review from 5:30 to 7 p.m. June 6 at the West Asheville Library, 942 Haywood Road.
This project is scheduled for construction in late 2019 into 2020.
