The revamped square will eliminate a total of 61 parking spots, all of the previously exiting vendor kiosks and will add 71 new trees, increasing the total from 19 to 90.

The city will widen the square’s sidewalks, add more green space, benches, free WiFi and a new LED light fixture that will change with the seasons.

Renovations are slated to begin in 2020 with a grand reopening date set for the end of 2021.
