Phased Improvements
Madison Section Jealous of East and West
The Madison Ave. Improvement Project targets the section of Madison between Avalon and Angelus as an area that has not shared in the success of Overton Square to the East and the Medical District to the West. After meeting with the areas business leaders and holding PARK(ing) Day events in 2022 and 2023 to get input from area residents we embarked on a phased approach to improve the area. Phase one, we planted on Avalon South of Madison and behind Murphy’s Bar, Phase 2 we planted on Angelus North of Madison and on the East side of the Cash Saver parking lot. Phase 3, will add Art Crosswalks to the intersection of Avalon and Madison through a partnership with the Urban Art Commission.
Our long-term goal for this project is to make this area safer, more attractive, and strengthen its sense of place. Our hope is that the community and commuters eventually see this area as a place that Memphians care about.
