What You Should Know Washington Boulevard Streetscape Improvements
As a part of Bellwood’s ongoing plans to beautify the village and provide a welcoming environment for visitors and commuters, residents can look forward to the first phase of an exciting project that will provide an attractive facelift along Washington Boulevard.
