Construction is underway again at Port Huron’s Military Street Pocket Park with a new, sturdier gazebo designed for better accessibility. The city began installing new footers after halting the original canopy plan due to soil issues causing shifting poles. This is part of a $500,000 Downtown Development Authority project to improve downtown public spaces and support small events. The park now features new ADA-compliant concrete surfaces, following a tree removal that caused some complaints. City officials stress quality and inclusivity, with work expected to finish within 30 days.
