Work Starts on Coleman Blvd. Overhaul

Portion of road project to accentuate new developments.

Work started Monday on a two-month overhaul of Coleman Boulevard that's meant to bring a more downtown feel to the four-lane roadway.

The construction will add a median, on-street parking, decorative lighting, as well as benches and signage as a part of the overhaul. Read more about the overhaul.

Eventually, the town wants the entire road to take on the new look, but this portion, between Fairmont and Pherigo roads, will accentuate a new apartment complex development and a new upscale grocer in the area.
