Want to design a sidewalk? Here's your chance

The City of Racine, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, are finalizing plans for the reconstruction of 6th Street between Main Street and Grand Avenue. Utility work will begin March 3 with the roadway construction starting in the spring of 2009.

The reconstruction of 6th Street will include new brick sidewalks decorated with large granite tiles to reinforce the unique identity of downtown and the historic district.

The Downtown Racine Corporation is seeking creative designs for the 2' x 2' granite inserts.

Design packets may be picked up at the DRC office at 425 Main Street. All designs must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 18. A committee will recommend images to the city and selected designs will be installed by 2009.

For additional information, email Devin Sutherland or call 634-6002.
