Construction begins on downtown Gainesville’s Streatery pedestrian corridor

The City of Gainesville has launched construction on SW First Avenue between South Main Street and SW Second Street, converting the block into a curbless, pedestrian-only space designed for festivals, farmers markets, and food trucks. Work is expected to run through October and will include brick pavers, outdoor lighting, seating, landscaping, and upgraded underground utility infrastructure completed in two phases. The Spring Market Series resumes along the corridor on April 24 after a brief hiatus, and downtown parking remains free on weekends near the construction zone.
