The City projects of the Community Building , 33rd Avenue Viaduct Uplighting , Reconstruction of 15th Street , Downtown Revitalization Study , and Downtown Railroad Grade Separation Study are all progressing forward and energizing the downtown area .
   The Community Building work continues toward completing the building enclosure , including the roofing , ongoing laying of bricks , and soon the beginning of windows and doors . The project is on schedule for a late spring 2023 opening and final project completion by the end of 2023 .
   The 33rd Avenue Viaduct Uplighting project is working towards Independence Day operation . The LED lighting will enhance the structural arches with red , white , and blue lighting providing an inviting and welcoming vibe to the community .
   15th Street from 23rd to 27th Avenues includes the reconstruction of the 50 year old plus water mains , storm sewer , and street and sidewalk replacement . The water main and storm sewer work are complete . Loup Public Power District is working on replacing the electrical street light conduits along with the older street light poles for completion next week . The general contractor is scheduled to follow right behind Loup Power’s work and begin paving subgrade operations . Even with the recent rain event , the general contractor has indicated the project remains on the original schedule for opening to traffic in late July .  
   The Downtown Railroad Grade Separation and Revitalization Studies are ongoing with listening sessions , public forums , business outreach , land and building inventory , transportation and parking analysis , implementation strategies and so forth . The stakeholders and public will have many opportunities to meet and provide input on these studies .
   In addition , other developments including the Columbus Public School Kramer Education Center , Samson Green Solutions former Steffy garage redevelopment , and other private work and building enhancements are well underway .  
   We understand these projects cause some temporary inconveniences , such as getting to the post office , paying your water bill , or visiting the Library; however , the investment in these projects will continue to enhance and energize the downtown area . Thank you citizens and visitors to Columbus for your patience and understanding!
