Garfield Retaining Wall

We are repairing and rebuilding the Garfield Street retaining wall and stairway between Taylor Avenue N and 5th Avenue N. We'll be fixing the retaining wall first and then upgrading the stairway. 

This project is part of our Stairway Maintenance Program

Old cement stairway in rockery, and wooden retaining wall.

The public easement features a pathway across the parking access drive and provides a connection down to Taylor Avenue.
