AURA set out to beautify the main crossroads in Olde Town.  Diagonal parking was replaced with wider sidewalks constructed of brick pavers and made room for outdoor patios.  Light poles, hanging flower baskets, new curb, gutters, sidewalks, street trees, lighting, and street furniture were also added.  Olde Wadsworth was also straightened to maximize infrastructure and medians.  These improvements changed the character of Olde Town complementing the historic nature of the buildings and made it more pedestrian friendly.
