Downtown drivers take note: A realigned Fourth Street is now open to traffic between Columbia and Esther streets, and Esther Street is now connected between Fourth and Sixth streets.

The City of Vancouver project, just completed this week, further opens circulation around the Vancouver Convention Center and Hilton Hotel area. In addition to the street improvements, the project included sidewalks, ADA accessibility, storm water and water improvements, as well enhanced "streetscaping" in keeping with the Esther Short Park design.

Drivers are asked to be mindful of the change in traffic patterns and be alert to other motorists and pedestrians.

I wonder if this is the target to make The Columbian's redevelopment area to success?
