While the City's      traffic improvement goals have been achieved, future plans also call for the addition of roadway     aesthetics, which will be accomplished by developing a green, open space at the intersection of     Valley and Fremont, dubbed "Freedom Square." However, funds are still being solicited for this     aspect of the project.) Reconstruction & Overlay Projects - various locations  Concrete Sidewalk, Curb & Gutter Repair - The repair work consisted of 48,000 square feet of      sidewalk bounded by Los Higos Street on the north, Almansor Street on the west, and      Valley Boulevard on the south.) Valley Boulevard Street Widening and Beautification - This $6 million street widening project       (funded by the County of Los Angeles and MTA) was undertaken to better serve traffic within        the corridor, improve air quality, reduce traffic delay, reduce fuel consumption and noise, upgrade      drainage and flood control facilities, and beautify the corridor. The project included general street      widening at select locations. In addition, the existing pavement, many underground utilities and      other roadway ancillary features were upgraded. Planter medians with dedicated left turn lanes        were installed to assist in the beautification to decrease the number of mid-block accidents.       As part of the project, state-of-the-art traffic signals were  installed. The new signals have a       preemption feature that allows public safety vehicles the ability to change the signal phase to       green giving the emergency vehicle the right -of-way. The City also purchased new sidewalk       sweepers and scrubbers that are manned daily by Public Works employees. The project limits       are from the West City Limit at the 710 Freeway to the East City Limit at New Avenue.)  Improved Downtown Parking - The City now has three parking structures in the Downtown area:      1) North Chapel Ave. - capacity for 300 vehicles; 2) South First St. - capacity for 272 vehicles; and      3) Garfield & Main: Renaissance Plaza Parking which provides parking for more than 800 vehicles       with access off of either Stoneman Ave. or Elgin St. Freeway Underpass Beautification Project - In 1991, the City of Alhambra began a program to       beautify the underpasses along the San Bernardino Freeway. At that time, a design was developed      to paint the City's gateway logo at each of the five locations: New Ave., Garfield Ave., Sixth St.,      Atlantic Blvd. and Fremont Ave. In addition to the logo, the underpass walls were painted      to complement the design. More recently, the City contracted to have the underpasses repainted      with the original logo design.
	MISSION ROAD: The last section of Mission Road, to the east city limit, was completed last year, and both the road and the planters are beautiful. This new phase of the Mission Road Beautification Project will deal with those utilitarian-looking wire fences between the highway and the railroad. These areas, from city limit to city limit, are now being planted with three colorful vines -- purple coral pea, scarlet trump, and violet trump -- and the end result is expected to be beautiful!
