The city and Montrose TIRZ 27 are finalizing plans to rebuild a 1.6‑mile portion of West Alabama Street with new pavement, upgraded sidewalks and flashing crosswalk signals, at a cost of $27 million.
A coalition that represents roughly 52,000 residents is urging the addition of concrete pedestrian refuge islands and wider pathways before the design is finalized, citing the need for long‑term pedestrian safety along the corridor.
