“I’m very thankful that this project is finally moving forward,” Second Ward Councilman Shahin Khalique said. “I’ve been advocating for these repairs for over 10 years, and it’s gratifying to see it come to fruition. I’m hopeful that the work will commence soon after approval.”

“I want to thank the Mayor and the Department of Public Works for considering North Fifth Street,” Councilwoman-at-Large Dr. Lilisa Mimms said. “This is a significant win for our residents.
