About
The purpose of this project is to upgrade the existing drainage system to reduce the regular street flooding that occurs, and to make complete street improvements to the roadway.
The complete street improvements include relocating the curb line to generally narrow the lane widths and widen the sidewalks on both sides of Florida Avenue, and creation of a shared use path on the west side of Tampa Street and widening the sidewalk on the east side of Tampa Street.
Additionally, bulb-outs will be constructed in areas with on-street parking, including at Columbus Drive and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on Florida Avenue, and new pedestrian crossings will be installed at 26th Avenue on Florida Avenue, and at Woodlawn Avenue and Indiana Avenue on Tampa Street.
The project also supports planned projects by HART, including a Bus Rapid Transit system, and a Light Rail extension.
This project is being designed in conjunction with FPID 440511-8-52-01. For more information on that project, please click here.
Construction is currently anticipated to begin in 2025.
