This portion of restoration will include replacing a section of sidewalk where the fire hydrant is located and replacing one travel lane of the concrete roadway on the south side of Fifth Avenue.

The north side of Fifth Avenue, adjacent to Triangle Park will be restored at a later date and will include a full replacement of the sidewalk, granite curbs and concrete roadway. The sidewalk will also be expanded to accommodate the new bus shelter.
