The metal pipes sticking up are conduits for electric, because of the location, I'm guessing they are for bus stop shelters? Yes, they won't go up to the buildings because of property lines, and the risk of disrupting foundations. They also replaced a lot of infrastructure like sewer and water, so they likely went back far enough to access those. I'd hate to see those local businesses fold from the impact if construction, and then be replaced by franchises... Thanks, Frank!
I do notice some street calming design to slow traffic. Still, too many fast food restraints have drive throughs. Those drive throughs create all kinds of serious traffic backup issues and parking lot hazards. Good chance the Duncan Donuts did not bother getting a drive through or failed to get a permit to put one in. That small brutalist architecture department store block could be renovated to have corner windows and corner lobby to make that intersection look more inviting and dynamic. Definitely more pedestrian friendly street design
It looks like a lot of money spent on half a dozen sketchy businesses like mattress stores and nail salons. Who paid for all this and why? The sidewalk work looks amazing and first class but I have to question why? The city treasury must be overflowing with cash.

Thank you so much for showing us the progress. I would love to see this area come back to what it used to be.
I personally worked on that project couple days ago in the past couple months. I work for ATl and I test concrete
Hello from AZ! It's always amazing to see your vids on the Triple Cities where I grew up as a kid. Thank you for the update.
Thanks for watching!
I’m hopeful that they will fill up the store fronts otherwise it’s going to be just another vacant down town with a new street 😌😌
Thx for the update! I also grew up in the Triple Cities. M-E grad.
Nice to see. But I have to wonder if street renovations are the key to bringing businesses back.
Great video.
If you remove the concrete too close to the buildings it might destabilize their foundations .... lotsa mass

Dunkin didn't get a drive though because the building behind directly behind it wouldn't or couldn't sell.
8:25 wait what?? WHY?
8:30 Now where have I heard that before? Something about a spaghetti monster or something… ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)
WHY??? Every business is CLOSED on Washington Ave.. it's a dead business area now that IBM left.
