The initial phase of work began on November 10, 2025, and involved the permanent removal of the benches and balusters on all four sides of the Kenan Fountain at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Market Street.
The benches and balusters are severely damaged from frequent vehicle collisions, and the fountain is not operational due to damage sustained during a previous paving operation.
The work slated for early 2026 will return the Kenan Fountain to proper working order.
The project cost is $285,000.
