Third Avenue North Improvements Open

On August 19, 2022, Metro Water Services, Metro Parks, and WeGo held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate and officially open multiple improvements to the Third Avenue North corridor near Salemtown. The area, which was previously an unused fenced area, now includes a playground, water feature, bus shelter, greenway connector, improved lighting, bike racks, and landscaping. In addition to collaborating with Metro Parks and WeGo, Metro Water Services incorporated feedback from the adjacent neighborhood to provide these community amenities.

The project was constructed as part of the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity Improvements and CSO Reduction project.
