After being closed for more than two years, the front entrance to Janesville City Hall is accessible again.

City Manager Mark Freitag says a new waterproofing membrane and repairs to City Hall’s underground parking structures have helped fortify the structural integrity of the plaza.

Fretiag says the project also includes hearted sidewalks, a new green roofing system on the plaza, new planters, bike racks, and railings.

Freitag says staff marked the occasion of the front plaza reopening with a flag-raising ceremony last week.

The project to improve the fifty-year-old plaza first began in May of 2019 after the City identified concerns with it’s structural integrity.
