Project Description:
This project will provide safety for all pedestrian traffic including ADA compliance, pedacyclist and strollers use throughout the Town of Golden Beach by reducing vehicular speeds, lane narrowing, radii reduction at corners, delineation and deviation, pavers, and the landscape to effect and enhance lighting. Currently, there are no sidewalks along this main thoroughfare, pedestrians, bicyclists, joggers, etc, all share the roadway with motorized traffic, a situation that is unsafe, unfriendly, and poses serious concerns to the Town's administrators, elected officials, and residents. This plan proposes constructing a new 6-foot sidewalk along the entire west side of the street. In addition to the aforementioned aspects of the roadway improvement project, this plan includes implementing traffic calming measures and minor street improvements.
