A key feature of the original City Council-approved  Work Program in 2018 for the Edmonds Creative District was redevelopment of the 4th Avenue Cultural Corridor, between Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) and Main Street, to become a unique destination within Downtown Edmonds.

The purpose of the project was to enhance this important pedestrian connection between Downtown Edmonds' premier arts/culture venue and the restaurant, shops and services of Main Street and heart of Downtown Edmonds a safer, more welcoming, more inviting, and more interesting pedestrian experience, maximizing connectivity between Downtown and ECA.

Due to budgetary constraints, the project is on hold as of 2024.  Download a PDF flyer for information about the project.
