City approves streetscaping improvements for Monroe Street corridor

Published on March 13, 2025

The project will span 1,000 linear feet of Monroe Street between Williams and Clinton avenues and include the installation of new sidewalks, streetlights, landscaping, irrigation and asphalt resurfacing. Work is expected to be completed within 90 days after notice to proceed is issued.

This project is part of ongoing efforts to revitalize the area, especially with the final completion of the Trilogy Hotel across from the Von Braun Center. Monroe Street has already seen several redevelopment initiatives, including improvements to the Von Braun Center and a new city parking deck within this area.

With the completion of these projects, the City is updating Monroe Street to add landscaping and irrigation, two large decorative pedestrian crossings — one near the parking deck and the other near Big Spring Park — and resurfacing the entire roadway.

“We’re excited to bring these improvements to Monroe Street, enhancing both its functionality and aesthetic appeal,” said Mayor Tommy Battle. “With the ongoing redevelopment in the area, these upgrades will help create a more vibrant, welcoming environment for residents and visitors alike.”
