Phase 2 includes work in the following North End neighborhoods: Margerie Street; Benham Street from Margerie to Calhoun Street; Lorenzo Street from Margerie to Calhoun Street; Eastwood Road from Margerie to Alice Street; Alice Street; and Lois Street, sidewalk only.

The proposed improvements will include new asphalt paving, concrete curbing, asphalt sidewalks, driveway aprons, catch basins, tops and associated work, according to city officials.

Residents and guests of these neighborhoods are advised not to park any vehicles on these roads during construction. Vehicles in the way of construction will be towed at the owners’ expense.
