Handrails, Sidewalk Update, New Bike Racks on the Way


Concrete repairs in front of the library's east (23rd Street) entrance are complete. The handrail on the new stairs has been installed. Both lower and upper stair handrails are colored a high gloss black.

The sidewalk along 23rd Street has reopened. Sidewalk repair and construction continues along Sealy Avenue. The above photo shows concrete being poured to replace a portion of the sidewalk near the 23rd and Sealy crosswalk.

Good news for our patrons opting for two-wheeled self-propelled transport as replacement bike racks will soon be installed. Bike racks are located between the Sealy parking lot and Pavilion as well as on the alley / Ball Street side of the building.

Stepping Safely into Summer Sidewalk Repair

Step right up! We are pleased to report that the stairs leading to the 23rd Street (East side) entrance have been repaired and leveled.

The cement stair project, beginning the 11th of June, took less than one week to complete. Alternate entrance was offered via the first floor during the construction process. The new concrete stairway will provide access to the Library for years to come.

Safety handrails are being fabricated and will be installed very soon.

Current construction at the Rosenberg Library is focused on ensuring our patrons can safely navigate the perimeter of the building and entrance. With the stairs completed, the sidewalk repair project is now in full swing. The unlevel grade and tilted pavement is being removed and replaced.
