Business View Civil and Municipal | May 2021

104 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL MAY 2021 include frequent car shows and farmers markets. The city also plans to welcome visitors to the neighborhood via revamped entrances at Garrison Street and Rawson Avenue as part of its yearly infrastructure projects. Kenneth Frost, Safety Service Director for the City of Fremont, notes, “Other than maintaining road access via the main highways, water access via Lake Erie 10 to 20 minutes away, and rail access, cleaning up the entry ways is one of our top priorities and projects for infrastructure.” The city completed the reconstruction of Garrison Street last year and is continuing the rebuild of Rawson Avenue. The latter project includes the replacement of water lines, gas lines, and sewer lines and the addition of boulevards, a large, granite sign that lights up, and new intersection traffic lights with decorative poles. Frost adds, “We’ve got more projects in the queue for upcoming years for more a beautification-type situation, as well as infrastructure improvements and repairs.” Bob Gross, Economic Development Director
