Uptown Pedestrian Improvements
The Uptown Pedestrian Improvements project will focus on upgrading crosswalks, improving lighting, and ensuring better accessibility for all. These improvements are designed to foster a more safe, inviting, and walkable environment; and in addition, boost strengthen the local economy by attracting foot traffic to our Uptown businesses.
As work progresses, we will strive to minimize disruptions and keep the public informed with timely updates. We look forward to seeing the positive impact these improvements will have on our community, making Uptown Martinsville an even more enjoyable place to live, visit, and grow.
