Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a beautification project i🎀n Union City continues to move forward.
Mayor Brian Stack gave an update on the project in a July letterജ t𒁃o the community.
“🅰I hope this note finds you in good health. As you have noticed the Palisade Avenue beautification continues north of 14th Street on Palisade A🍬venue,” Stack said.
Installation of deco📖rative lights and trees continues from 2nd Street to 14th Street on Palisade Ave. Once this is done, a decision will be made on when milling and p♊aving will take place later this fall or next year, according to Mayor Stack.
Marking history
Stack also highlighted a new aspect of the beautification project, the granite markers on the northern/ southern corneಌrs of Palisade Ave.
“These markers bear the original names of our city streets,” Stack said. “I thought it would be a nice touch to include some of our citiy’s history with our improvements.”
Stack 🧸has been looking for funding for these projects.
“The entire project along Palisade Avenue and Paterson Plank Road to 49th Street will cost close to $11 million,” Stack said. “This is all possible due to g💝rants that I was able to secure for our city.”
Stack is asking residents for their help to maintain the sidewalks, streets, trees, and decorative lig⭕hts.
“It doesn’t matter if you live, rent or do n🎀ot even live on Palisade Avenue, as a community we should want to keep our city clean and take c🍎are of it,” Stack said. “Again I ask that we take care of our community and show it the love it deserves.”
Residents may call Stack “anytime, 7 days a week” for any questions or furthไer informati🧸on.
