Overview

Background

The Northwest Neighborhood is bounded on the north by Lake Ida Road, east by Swinton Avenue, south by Atlantic Avenue, and west by I-95. In partnership, the City and CRA completed a study and recent Redevelopment Plan for the area and reinvestment including infrastructure work – as included in this project – was recommended. In November 2021, the City of Delray Beach approved a contract to design the NW Neighborhood roadways and alleyways listed below including public outreach, and this website, as a key component of the project to ensure active engagement with impacted residents.

Description 

The goal of this project is to design a project that will reconstruct and retrofit the existing public infrastructure to meet the needs of area residents, businesses, and visitors. The primary components of the project include:

  • Resurfacing or reconstruction of 8.4 miles of roadway
  • Construction of 2.0 miles of new permeable pavement alleyways
  • Rehabilitation of the existing potable water, sanitary and storm sewer systems
  • Improve area drainage and landscaped parkways
  • Improve sidewalk deficiencies (fill in gaps and replace trip hazards) meeting ADA standards
  • Proposed decorative LED street lighting
  • Traffic Calming Improvements

Another key component of this project is to complete public outreach throughout the design process, and there will be multiple ways for residents to monitor the project’s progress and provide input. Please monitor this website for project updates, future meeting notices, and how you can provide your input to make this project the best it can be.
