Four Corners Facelift

Summer crowds ran into some major public works projects in downtown Coeur d’Alene the past few years, with blocked streets and reduced parking. This season the construction zone is next to City Park, a popular and shady summer destination on Lake Coeur d’Alene and a central location for big events such as Ironman, Independence Day and Taste of the Coeur d’Alenes. The city is rebuilding and narrowing the street between the park and the grandstand at Memorial Field to make it a “pedestrian-focused corridor” that’s safer for those on foot and a more attractive gateway to City Park. Curbs are in and paving is set for next week./ Scott Maben , SR. More here .
