City of Lake Worth Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: New Greenway and Road Improvement Projects at 9th & 10th Avenue South

The City of Lake Worth will be hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded greenway and road improvement projects on Tuesday, February 17, 2015. The first ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on 10th Avenue South at South E Street from 1:00 - 1:30 pm and the second ceremony will take place on 9th Avenue S. at South E Street from 1:30 - 2:00 pm.

 10th Avenue South – South A Street to South F Street: this project consisted of converting the existing/unimproved right-of-way into a new roadway complete with sidewalks with ADA ramps, Type F curb and gutter, new pavement section, sodding, and striping/signage. Water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems were also addressed in this project.

 9th Avenue South – South B Street to South F Street: this project consisted of converting the existing/unimproved right-of-way into a greenway by means of clearing and grubbing the entire site, fine grading to provide positive surface drainage, construction of a multiuse pathway, and the installation of sod/landscaping/irrigation system as well as site amenities like fixed trash receptacles and benches. This is the first location to implement the City’s new greenway concept.

All are invited to come and take part in celebrating these exciting new projects as we continue to improve our City infrastructure! Please contact Public Services with any questions or comments.
