Project Location

WHAT DOES THE PROJECT CONSIST OF?

The project includes the design to re-establish the service life for all the NW Neighborhood’s public infrastructure including public roadways, alleyways, storm sewer (drainage), utilities, lighting, traffic calming devices and landscaping.

WHAT IS TRAFFIC CALMING?

The primary goal of traffic calming is to encourage drivers to travel at an appropriate, safe speed. There are multiple means and methods that traffic engineers consider and recommend based upon the speed and volume of cars in a particular area. After the traffic engineer collects and evaluates all of the data a Traffic Impact Analysis will be prepared including the location and effectiveness of traffic calming devices in the NW Neighborhood.

HOW WILL THIS PROJECT BE FUNDED?

The design and construction of this project is a planned partnership between the City of Delray Beach and the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). No new taxes or fees will be levied or charged to complete this work.
