Upland to revamp C Street
The city is preparing to revitalize one of downtown's most used streets.
C Street will be revamped from Euclid Avenue to 3rd Avenue as part of the C Street Revitalization Project.
"Like any capital project we do in downtown is geared toward improving the infrastructure or the aesthetic of downtown," Redevelopment Director Jeff Zwack said.
The $63,475 project was awarded to Orange-based Kabbara Engineering.
Construction documents are expected to be completed in January and construction will follow soon thereafter, according to the staff report.
The project had already been budgeted for the current fiscal year.
To further business development, the agency will revitalize C Street to link the Civic Center with the business and restaurant core.

Upon completion, C Street is expected to complement future adjacent business development, and serve as a key element to continuing downtown redevelopment, according to the staff report.
Although the construction work is expected to mirror components of the city's downtown specific plan, it is not part of the plan, Zwack said.
The formal plan has yet to be adopted, but the types of trees and lighting in the plan have already been agreed upon.
That project will include:
- Widening sidewalks and installing pedestrian-friendly amenities and furnishings, such as benches, trash receptacles and bicycle racks.
- Repaving roads
with improved pedestrian crossings.
- Driveway modifications.
- Installing street lights and ornamental pedestrian lights.
- Striping diagonal parking.
- Planting new street trees.
- Installing parkway landscaping along with a recycled water irrigation system.
