Downtown Enhancements
$1.8 million in improvements along Main Street at various locations stretching from Gulfstream Avenue to Five Points and up to Goodrich Avenue is now underway. Enhancements will include: installing brick paver sidewalks from Gulfstream Avenue to the Five Points roundabout, creating wider sidewalks with parallel parking on the north side of Main Street from Gulfstream Avenue to Five Points (angled parking will remain on the south side of the street), planting additional landscaping, replacing pedestrian light poles, installing brick pavers at selected crosswalks, and adding trash receptacles, and benches. To ensure minimal impact to merchants, shoppers and the general public City crew will work on different sections at a time. Completion is expected by early fall. Downtown restaurants, cafes and shops will remain open during this time, so please continue to patronize them.
