Downtown Morgan Hill

The City of Morgan Hill's plans to transform Third Street in Downtown into the "Third Street Promenade" are fast becoming a reality. Over the next four months, Third Street will be transformed into a pedestrian-friendly thoroughfare between Monterey and Depot Streets featuring:

  • wide sidewalks
  • decorative street furniture & art
  • pedestrian scaled lighting
  • street trees and landscaping

It is envisioned that Third Street will become a place where Morgan Hill residents and those in surrounding communities will want to come to for dining, shopping, mingling, relaxing, and enjoyment of outdoor entertainment.

Construction of the project is funded by the Morgan Hill Redevelopment Agency and a $1.7 million grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

The project is being completed in 3 stages:

Phase I was the replacement of water and sewer utilities and is complete.

Phase II was the PG&E undergrounding and is also complete.

Phase III will include the street improvements and will run from April 2009 until approximately December 2009*
