In Brief: City of Lewiston Redesigning Downtown Streets | Crime

Community input is needed for a downtown Lewiston revitalization. City planners are creating blueprints that will change the appearance and function of 1st and 5th.

Changes will create a gateway to the community and provide improved access to future development at the Twin City Foods property near the Levee Bypass.

This is the opportunity for residents to throw in their “Christmas Wishlist” for the upcoming plans. Maybe you’d like to see bicycle lanes, public art or better configuration for parking lots.

To share your input, you can attend the Thursday, October 27th public meeting from 4-6 p.m. at the Bell Building, located at 215 D St.

For more information, view the details online at Downtown Lewiston Streetscape.
