Sporadic splashes of color have been added to the Center St. area, but it’s not for a parade.
About a dozen trees have been adorned with pink ribbon, signifying they are destined to be removed for the upcoming street infrastructure project, and hundreds of small, orange, white and blue marking flags have been stuck in the ground as the start date for yet another major Phase 3A road project looms.
“I think this is one of the most critical roads of the city,” Tracy City Administrator Erik Hansen said. “I don’t think we can do it any later … this year was the worst — I drove it just (Thursday), and it’s terrible.

We can’t do those streets until we complete Center Street.”
