Downtown renovations include a new drop-off lane at PPAC

Posted

Several of Rhode Island’s fearless leaders gathered at the Providence Performing Arts Center last month to celebrate the unveiling of the new PPAC Square. As part of the excessively named “Downtown Providence Traffic Circulation Improvements Project: Phase 2,” the square’s renovation seeks to bring more people downtown, according to Mayor Taveras. During the event, PPAC President Lynn Singleton presented Governor Chafee with the unveiling of PPAC Square a Founder’s Award, recognizing his work to secure funding for the project. The renovations include a dedicated drop off lane, new sidewalks, new benches and the planting of 25 immature trees. (Those trees should really grow up already.) It’s nice to see Providence’s politicians pushing for the betterment of local art institutions, even if it meant that biking down Weybosset was a bit difficult during the process.
