8th Street Sidewalk Improvements

Project Summary

The City of Lincoln identified a need to improve the sidewalk and pedestrian right-of-way along the west side of North 8th Street in front of the businesses between 311 and 321 North 8th Street. These improvements were necessary to enhance the public space in this area, while also improving the functionality and accessibility for residents and customers to the local businesses.

Project Location

Improvements in this area included:

  • Construction of new steps at the edge of the dock in front of the existing business entrances
  • Construction of a new ADA access ramp to allow users easier access from the street sidewalk up to the businesses
  • Installation of new fence and railings along the face of the dock to tie this area into the overall aesthetic of the Haymarket district
