The improvement project has already 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. In a Nov. 14 letter to a state transportation official, City Manager Robert W. Healy wrote that “the design [for the project] is already at 100%, but due to a $1 million funding...
