Current cross-section proposed by city for the construction of 7th Avenue South

This is the current plan, prior to the upcoming meeting with residents of the area. The money for this is coming from long-unused CDBG monies from Palm Beach County. This is what Jamie Brown wrote in the email that transmitted this cross section.
The proposed section is actually 11’ lanes.  The original goal was to provide both an east and west bound bike lane in lieu of creating a larger landscaping area which would require additional maintenance.  There are a few different combinations with bike lanes and sidewalks that are feasible, but we’ll have to see what comes out of this upcoming meeting.
