Project Features

The project features a Complete Streets approach and supports the safe use and mobility of all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and public transit riders, regardless of age or ability.

  1. New bicycle lanes, with safety features, will connect residents to jobs, school, and neighborhoods.
  2. New sidewalks will ensure ADA compliance to provide access for people of all abilities.
  3. Between the SFRTA and Tamarind Avenue, the road will be narrowed to two lanes. Construction will not exceed the existing roadway pavement depth to ensure no adverse impacts to the Storm of‘ 28 Memorial Park or areas of cultural or historic significance.
  4. Roads will be paved to eliminate potholes and improve functionality. Landscaping will be added (except between SRFTA/Tamarind Avenue) to provide shade, climate benefits and beautification.

Proposed Improvements

The City and it's consultant, DDEC, LLC, have come up with three concepts  for the three main sections of the project. Each one incorporates vehicle travel lanes, bicycle lanes and sidewalks. The three proposed project sections are for Australian Avenue to the for three segments of the project between Australian Avenue and Broadway crossing both the Tri-Rail/SFRTA and the Florida East Coast/Brightline railroad tracks.

Bicycle Lane Design Options

Also under consideration are four types of bicycle lanes and separation options. Two options provide concrete barrier separations, a third includes bollards and a fourth has pavement markings. Under Florida law a motor vehicle shall yield three feet between a vehicle and a bicycle. 

Option 1 & 2 (separated bike lane with no landscaping and protected bike lane)

Alternative Options 1 & 2 (Buffered and Protected Bike Lane)

When will this project be constructed?

The 25th Street Improvement Project is a priority project for the City of West Palm Beach. The project is currently in the design phase. We anticipate construction to begin in 2026 or 2027.

 

How will this project benefit the neighborhood?

The 25th Street Improvement Project will revitalize the 25th Street area, by providing safety and infrastructure improvements, connecting neighborhoods, and enhancing links to surrounding neighborhoods. Declining street conditions and aging infrastructure will be replaced or upgraded. The City of West Palm Beach is improving city streets for everyone. This project is both an infrastructure improvement and quality-of-life enhancement for our community.
