The addition of the following three projects that were originally listed on potential project lists, but were not included in the Mayor’s recommendation: Central Street Promenade (with an estimated cost of $850,000), Federal Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements (with an estimated cost of $2.85 million), West Colfax Transit Enhancements (with an estimated cost of $1.9 million).
