South Golf Drive Street Improvement Project

The principal intent of this project is to apply a complete street initiative along the South Golf Drive corridor within the public right-of-way, approximately 0.7 miles, between Gulf Shore Blvd North and US 41. Work shall include survey, engineering, permitting, utility coordination, and public involvement. The complete street initiative would include the safe design of a multimodal transportation corridor, including new sidewalk(s), and potentially parking spaces, buffered bike lanes, stormwater infrastructure, traffic calming, landscape, and irrigation improvements. The City anticipates the sidewalk and parking improvements to be focused along the north side of South Golf Drive. The South Golf Drive project is being funded with a grant provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

Items of concern or challenge along South Golf Drive include:

• Pedestrian safety and connectivity
• Bicycle safety and connectivity
• Street image
• Lane requirements and alignment
• Varying width of right of way
• Driveway connections
• Parking
• Landscaping and opportunities to increase the availability of shade when appropriate
• Utilities
• Streetscape, including street lighting
• Drainage/Stormwater

The City wishes to involve stakeholders, including but not limited to property owners along the corridor and interested neighborhood and businesses. Public meetings and subsequent presentations to City Council are anticipated as part of the design process. The schedule for the project will be as follows:

• City Council approved the grant agreement;
• A design firm was hired (Kisinger Campo & Associates);
• Public Involvement Process (the first public involvement meeting was held on March 23, 2021);
• City Council approval of design agreement and construction agreement;
• Construction
