The City and CRA recently completed $10 million in infrastructure and streetscape improvements for the neighborhood. Currently under construction is the Federal East Coast Railroad (FEC) buffer wall which includes decorative fencing and landscaping enhancements from 17th Street to 25th Street.

Phase II of the Paint, Plant and Pave Program will get underway targeting the multi-family properties for exterior improvements including sidewalks, driveway, painting and landscaping improvements. Phase I of the program was a complete success with 33 single-family homes receiving assistance for exterior improvements to their home!

The CRA received a local grant for the development of a Children's Community Garden. Utilizing a City owned vacant parcel the kids will be able to learn to grow and harvest their own vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.

The final stages for redevelopment focuses on the northern section of Pleasant City called Blum Park. Plans call for the Park to be redesigned to create neighborhood park surrounded by beautiful townhomes that will overlook the park.
