Scope of Work:

• From East Camino Real to SE 5 Street/SE Mizner Boulevard one through lane in each direction will be repurposed to provide wider, 11-foot sidewalks and curb-separated, 5-foot bike lanes.
• From SE 5 Street/SE Mizner Boulevard to NE 8 Street/NE Mizner Boulevard the median will be narrowed to provide space for 7-foot bike lanes with painted buffers.
• Just south of Plaza Real a new signalized mid-block pedestrian crossing will be built with increased lighting, making pedestrians more visible to drivers.
• Modify curb ramps and pedestrian detectors (buttons) to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to improve access for users with disabilities.
• Replace and upgrade signs and pavement markings to meet current standards and increase reflectivity.
• The US1 northbound left turn at East Camino Real will be modified from a single left turn lane to dual left turn lanes.

Construction Impacts:

• Work will be done in phases to reduce the effects of construction on the community.
• Mill and resurface the existing pavement throughout the project limits.
• Construct new curb and gutter and drainage structures from East Camino Real to SE 5 Street/SE Mizner Boulevard.
• Temporary lane closures will be required during construction. Lane closures will be performed during off-peak hours.
• Repaving and restriping will be performed at night.
• Access to businesses and residences along with pedestrian traffic will be maintained during construction.
• Another public meeting (Construction Open House) will be held prior to construction where detailed information about how to keep informed of potential construction impacts will be provided at this meeting.
