• Installing high-visibility crosswalks at signalized intersections.
• Upgrading pedestrian signalization
• Constructing a new signalized intersection at SW 16 Street
• Installing new lighting for the proposed crosswalk on the south leg of Sevilla Avenue and the new signalized intersection at SW 16 Street
• Reconstructing drainage inlets to address widening between SW 9 Street and SW 8 Street
• Milling and resurfacing the roadway
• Upgrading roadway signage and pavement markings 

MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC: 

Work will be done in phases to reduce the effects of construction on the community. Lanes can be closed during the following hours:'

Monday night through Friday night 10:30 p.m. – 6:30 a.m.
