A long-discussed mixed-use project near Evans Avenue and East Rosedale Street is now described as months away from construction, with new housing and commercial space planned alongside streetscape work already in place.

• Neighborhood change: The Historic Southside project adds to a wave of redevelopment that could reshape housing, retail, and public spaces in coming years.
