The work will include:
- Various designs on highway walls
- Specialized light poles and signposts
- Colored sidewalks
- Pedestrian lighting
- Banner poles
- Raised planters
- Landscape irrigation
A closer look
Of the funding amount, Denton County provided $6 million for the proposed improvements from the Transportation Road Improvement Program-2022 bond, approved by council on Sept. 11. The city is funding the remainder of the cost from the I-35 Aesthetics Capital Project. Cost overruns are related to the aesthetics items and are the responsibility of the city.
