Park Street is being transformed into a shaded multimodal street, seamlessly connecting LaVilla and the Regional Transportation Center with the Five Points and Riverside neighborhoods.
The project focuses on upgrading roadway infrastructure in the Brooklyn neighborhood to boost pedestrian and bicycle connectivity while improving safety for all users. Enhancements include sharrows, on-street parking, wider sidewalks, narrower roadway widths for safer crossings, and the addition of street trees for shade and accommodation of sidewalk cafes.
These improvements will link Park Street to the Emerald Trail and McCoys Creek Greenway, fostering economic growth by creating an inviting and attractive environment for businesses and retailers. Patrons of local retail establishments will also have access to public parking available nights and weekends in the recently completed Florida Blue garage on Forest Street.
