A series of three bilingual (English/Spanish) heritage-discovery walks have been selected and sixty plaques have been erected that tell the history and evolution of Lake Street. The historical markers include information and photographs of the area, as well as specific buildings both past and present. The walking tours are designed to educate, to foster a sense of historical identity and to encourage preservation of local historic sites. Brochures of the walking tours are available to the public free of charge at local businesses.
