...received nearly $6 million from the city, a $1.3 million pledge from the University, and $300,000 from local property owners, according to city spokeswoman Ini Tomeu. The project will upgrade sidewalks, plazas, bicycle facilities, street lights, street surfaces, and the storm water system in the Square.
