Downtown Lafayette's sidewalks are getting a facelift. Kind of an eventual holiday gift to pedestrians -once the dust from the demolition and construction has cleared-funded primarily from a Transportation for Livable Communities grant. Crews will commence beautification on the downtown streetscape that will include new landscaping and paver sidewalks along Mt. Diablo Boulevard from Oak Hill Road to Mountain View in sections. Phase One will start January 9, and is slated to run until January 30 from the Round Up to Postino on the south side of Mt. Diablo Boulevard. The entire project will create some challenges for drivers and pedestrians for approximately the next six months. C. Tyson
