Hood River, Oregon
Oak Avenue
 

      
Though lined
      with historic buildings, and spectacular views of the surrounding
      Columbia Gorge, Oak Avenue was a hodge-podge of obsolete sidewalks,
      dangerous pedestrian crossing and a tangle of overhead utilities.
      Of the changes made to the downtown streets, the removal of overhead
      utilities - which used to block the historic storefronts shown
      above - was the most significant. The street trees, vintage street
      lamp, trash receptacle, street bench and crossing ramps in this
      image were also added as part of the project.
