This project will construct a 10-foot-wide concrete sidewalk/multiโuse path, separated from the roadway to improve safety and accessibility for walkers, runners, and cyclists. The path will extend from the West Lagoon Ave intersection to W 11th St. An additive alternate will also be included for a potential new sidewalk along W 11th St from West Beach Blvd to West Lagoon Ave.
