A hotel under construction on a historic corner of Midtown has stayed on schedule, despite the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the economy and hospitality industry.

Proposed improvements include a two-way protected cycle track, mid-block pedestrian crossings, ADA compliant sidewalks and crosswalks, new and upgraded traffic, bike and pedestrian signals and enhanced protection and increased visibility of Light Individual Transportation (LIT) lanes.
