Workers installed new concrete benches and flower planters on Erie Street and throughout the downtown redevelopment block Thursday as part of the road reconstruction project that started last year.

Originally, the city budgeted for the installation of 40 new benches as part of the street reconstruction.

The new street furniture contributes to the overall redevelopment project.
