A new 12-foot wide decorative concrete promenade (sidewalk) will be constructed at Sunset Lake along New Jersey Avenue between Monterey Avenue and Rambler Road. This work will commence within two weeks and will take about three weeks to complete. The promenade will run parallel to the new curb line on the west side of New Jersey Avenue, with a two-foot grass park stripe separating the curb from the promenade.
