Public improvements include new curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaping, pavement repair, utilities including storm drain, water, sanitary sewer, and joint trench, as well as signing and pavement markings along Fremont Boulevard and Maple Street, a new raised bike path along Fremont Boulevard, and other miscellaneous items of work as identified on the approved improvement plans.
