Now every cellar door from Front through 8th will be replaced with brand new stainless steel doors.

Apparently this wasn't out of the kindness of the feds' heart.... rather the contractors ran into structural
problems with the existing doors and would have had difficulty in working around them.

Regardless, this is good news for the street! Those doors run about $2,100 apiece installed and I think there are nearly 100 of them.
