The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is in the process of designing a project make a portion of Pace Boulevard safer for pedestrians.
The primary intent of the project is to improve nighttime pedestrian safety by adding LED lighting along Barrancas Ave./Pace Blvd. (State Road 292) at 10 intersections that already have traffic signals:
- S. 2nd Street,
- Live Oak Avenue,
- S. Pace Boulevard,
- W. Garden Street (US 98/SR 30),
- W. Jackson Street,
- W. Cervantes (US 90/SR 10A),
- W. Jordan Street,
- St. Mary Avenue,
- W. Fairfield Drive (SR 295), and
- W. Herman Avenue.
The plan calls for Gulf Power installed and maintain the lighting.
Local officials have been asked to review and comment on the Phase II (60%) Plans by Feb. 5.
Great news! Thanks again for your coverage of bike/pedestrian issues. Walkability is a key component of livability. These types of infrastructure improvements are necessary to increase our regional and national competitiveness in attracting talent and investment capital.
