Merchant's Row is located on East Third Street and currently features a variety of retail and professional service businesses. A redesign of the streetscape between Main Street and Patterson Boulevard offers a variety of enhancements to the area, including transforming the street into an impromptu performing and visual arts destination. Additional highlights include:
• Elevated lunar stage and outdoor dining with a public sound system for plug-in performance
• Trees and landscaping for shade while enjoying performing artists
• Easy-to-navigate saw-tooth on-street parking
• A pedestrian walkway link to RiverScape
