The work includes clearing of several trees and shrubs and utility preparation work. Lanes may occasionally be restricted along Oxford Street between Lafayette and Oliver streets. Full construction will begin in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>The $3.46 million dollar project is led by the Community Development Division and includes redesigning the road and sidewalks along a nine-block section of Oxford Street between Lafayette and Oliver streets. The project, which will be constructed in two phases, includes significant work that will improve pedestrian and vehicle safety, as well as make the corridor more attractive. Specific work includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Traffic solutions that will help slow traffic, such as widened sidewalks, bump outs, and additions of park strips.<\/li>\n<li>New pedestrian signals and intersections.<\/li>\n<li>Reconstruction of curbs and sidewalks to meet current ADA standards.<\/li>\n<li>Reconstruction of all deteriorated drive approaches.<\/li>\n<li>Stormwater solutions such as bioswales with native plants, that will help reduce street flooding.<\/li>\n<li>56 new ornamental streetlights to improve pedestrian safety.<\/li>\n<li>Road reconstruction and new asphalt pavement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More than 300 surveys from residents who travel Oxford Street regularly, as well as several open houses attended by dozens of residents, helped guide the plans for reconstruction. <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.cityoffortwayne.org\/oxford-streetscape\" target=\"_blank\">More information about the project and renderings can be found online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_134145\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-134145\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1501\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/tOxford1-696x1045.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-134145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oxford Streetscape Community Results.
