IN THE WORKS
BOARDWALK ACCESS STAIRS AND RAMP REPAIRS Project Status: Under Construction Project Cost: $86,264 (Engineering) | $1,451,378 (Construction) Work on the Boardwalk beach access project continues, focusing on the replacement of stair and ramp access from the boardwalk to the beach, along with approximately 110 linear feet of seawall at Breakers Park. The $1.45 million construction project, with $86,264 in engineering costs, was approved by the City Commission on Jan. 8, 2025. The project includes four parallel ramps and 14 stairways. Ramps 1, 2 and 3 are open to the public. To date, 11 stairways have been completed, with three additional stairways about 85% complete. FIRE STATION NO. 8 Two companies were recently selected to advance the development of the new Fire Station No. 8, with Wharton-Smith, Inc. providing construction management services and JL2 Architecture, LLC handling design and engineering. Fire Station No. 8 will be located at N. Clyde Morris Blvd. and Cornerstone Blvd. and is strategically positioned to improve emergency response in the LPGA area, east of I-95. Once plans are sufficiently complete and a Guaranteed Maximum Price is established, it will be presented to the City Commission for approval. MAIN STREET STREETSCAPE At the April 1 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) meeting, staff were directed to gather additional input from Main Street merchants on the proposed streetscape improvements, with several business owners expressing support for increased lighting and parking. A meeting with the merchants is planned for next month, and staff will present the feedback at an upcoming CRA workshop. The project, designed by Catalyst Design Group, aims to enhance sidewalks, lighting, parking, landscaping and pedestrian amenities to create a vibrant, event-ready corridor while preserving Main Street’s character.
