Revitalizing Mansfield: The awaited streetscape project prepares for groundbreaking

The heart of downtown Mansfield is set to transform as the city’s streetscape project inches closer to its construction phase. With a contract expected to be awarded in December, excitement is mounting for a project years in the making. A collaboration between the City of Mansfield and K.E. McCartney and Associates (KEM), the streetscape project aims to enhance walkability, improve safety and foster an inviting downtown atmosphere for both residents and visitors.

“The first discussions about this project date back to around 2018,” Mayor Jodie Perry said. “Over the years, it evolved significantly, shaped by feedback from the community and stakeholders. We wanted to make sure it was a project the community could rally behind, even if that took extra time.”
