Construction begins on downtown Gainesville’s Streatery pedestrian corridor

The City of Gainesville has launched construction on The Streatery, a planned pedestrian-only corridor along SW First Avenue between South Main Street and SW Second Street, with work expected to run through October. The project will replace underground utilities and roadway surfaces with brick pavers, add outdoor lighting, seating, landscaping, and electrical hookups for food trucks, and create ADA-accessible raised intersections. Construction will proceed in two phases, with detour routes shifting in July, while nearby parking and some downtown events continue during the build.
