First phase of 27 Avenue project to be discussed

Phase one of the SW 27 Avenue renovation will be discussed at a community meeting on Monday, November 8, from 6:30 to 8 pm at City Hall (3500 Pan American Drive).

The first phase goes along SW 27 Avenue from S. Bayshore Drive to Tigertail Avenue and SW 28 Terrace to US1. The project consists of reconstructing the existing two lane roadway to include raised landscaped medians, bicycle lanes, on street parking, sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Also continuous storm drains, new traffic signals, pavement markings and signage. Decorative roadway lighting will also be installed. This will not include the traffic circle, which is around Day Avenue.

This phase is anticipated to start on January 3, 2011 and is projected to take nine (9) months to complete.

Phase II will continue from Tigertail Avenue (including the traffic circle) to SW 28th Terrace. This phase is anticipated to start by November of 2011 and is estimated to take twelve (12) months to complete.

Funding for the project was provided by the Charter County Transit Surtax, specifically listed in the People's Transportation Plan as one of the Board requested improvement projects.
