The grant will allow the city to make many different changes. Heller said the traffic patterns of the Third and Fourth streets intersection will be improved, and enhancements will be made to the landscaping and storm drains. There will also be increased lighting and sidewalk improvements to ensure pedes-trian safety. The project is expected to begin soon and take a little more than two years to complete. “We need to show that project is ready to go and have a sched-ule,” Heller said. She said the city needs to start designing, hire an engineering firm and break ground on con-struction. “When I secure money for proj-ects at the state level, I want to make sure that those projects are shovel-ready to go,” Boscola said. “It doesn’t happen overnight, but it only happens with a team —
