Tempe City Council recently held the first public hearing for a roughly $15 million transfer of city funds to be used for the Downtown Tempe Streetscape Improvement Project.
During council’s Nov. 21 meeting, the council held the first public hearing on the fund transfer for the project, where no public testimony or council discussion was heard. The final public hearing is scheduled for the Dec. 19 council meeting.
This project seeks to revitalize the Mill Avenue corridor from University Drive to Rio Salado Parkway by making upgrades to different dated elements and creating a new vision and appearance that revitalizes the downtown, Shelly Seyler, deputy transportation and sustainability director, explained in a city staff report.
