Pedestrians rejoice!

Sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Oh my!

Street and infrastructure gurus will be staying busy throughout the next year building curbs, gutters, sidewalks and storm drains throughout the city.

Work should commence in the next three weeks on curbs, gutters and sidewalks on Cypress Street, between Central and Palm avenues, and on the west side of Cole Street, north of Cypress Avenue, Assistant Public Works Director Dennis Barton said.

Around mid-October, new sidewalks will be built on Cypress Avenue between Palm and Church avenues and on Seventh Street, east of Sterling Avenue, Barton said.

And in April, storm drain projects will be keeping public works officals busy , with one on Base Line between Olive Street and Central Avenue and another on Water Street between Flintlock Court and Club View Drive.

The projects are part of the city's capital improvement program, and are being funded by bonds approved by the City Council/Redevelopment Agency last year, Barton said.
