2020 Sidewalk Plan
Per your request the Public Works Department has completed the following sidewalk plan for
submission to the City Council.
The sidewalk plan consists of three major components as follows:
1. Sidewalk Rehabilitation
During the budget process it was determined to shift funds from new sidewalk construction to repair
and maintenance in order to bring the existing sidewalk within the City to a safe and functional
condition. Maintenance Forman Marvin Roberts has completed a survey of existing sidewalks and has
identified approximately 1,165 liner feet of sidewalk that requires replacement. In some areas with curb
and gutter the replacement will need to include replacement of the curb and gutter as well. The list of
repairs needed is as follows:

2. New Construction
Two (2) new construction projects have been identified. The primary project is 1,000 linear feet of
sidewalk on SE 6th Avenue connecting Centennial Park with the existing sidewalk on SE 4th Street. This
segment will complete access to the new park from all blocks of the surrounding neighborhood.
The right of way on SE 6th Avenue is insufficient for the construction of the new sidewalk. The City will
need to obtain an easement from the eleven (11) property owners on the East side of SE 6th Avenue for
this project to be completed.
SE 6th Avenue Sidewalk Project
A secondary project has been identified which can be completed in this year. If for some reason the
primary project cannot be completed. This project, located on SW 8th Avenue and SW Park street will
connect the new apartments to be constructed south of SW 8th Avenue with the downtown area
allowing the residents of the 190 unit project to walk to the downtown businesses.
SW 8th Avenue Sidewalk Project
Potential Future Projects:
• NW 2nd Street, Extend existing sidewalk from NW 10th Ave to NW 11th Ave.
• SW 6th Street, Extend existing sidewalk from SW 10th Ave to existing sidewalk on SW 11th Ave
• SW Park Street, Extend existing proposed new sidewalk at SW 8th Avenue to existing sidewalk on
SW 11th Avenue
• SE 8th Street, Connect existing sidewalk on SE 8th Avenue to existing sidewalk on SE 9th Avenue
• NE 3rd Street, Connect existing sidewalk at NE 4th Ave to existing sidewalk on NE 7th Avenue
3. ADA Ramp Construction
To meet current access requirements, additional ADA ramps are required in the downtown area as well
as the reconstruction of some of the existing ramps in order for them to meet current standards. It is
proposed that ADA sidewalk ramp along with an ADA parking space be installed mid-block on each side
of South Park street in order to meet ADA requirements. A survey of Southeast and Southwest Park
streets has identified a total of 30 ADA ramps are required. In the future, additional ramps should be
constructed mid-block on the side streets connecting to South Park Street where parking exists for
business access.
The current sidewalk bid being processed includes ten (10) ramps to be constructed starting in the 100
block of SW Park street. An additional four (4) ramps will be included in the FDOT SCOP funded projects
on SE 3rd Ave and SW 5th Avenue. Additional ramps will be included over the next 2-3 years until the
downtown area is completed.
