Forest Park redevelopment progresses

The city of Forest Park’s Main Street is undergoing restructuring. Phase I of the Main Street Streetscape Project has been completed. The makeover consisted of constructing brick paver handicap accessible sidewalks, landscaping, bicycle racks, trash receptacles, benches, and decorative pedestrian lighting on Main Street.

The realignment of College/Ash/Main Street is the location for the new Town Center. Construction of a water fountain and town clock is included in the plan. The Main Street Streetscape project will terminate at Highway 54, also known as Jonesboro Road. Phase II of the streetscape project is in the engineering phase.
