South Park Drive Improvement Project
The South Park Drive Improvement Project affects approximately 1.1 miles of roadway. The roadway to be improved is South Park Drive from Highway 13 to County Road 27. The proposed improvement is a full depth mill & overlay that includes installation of pedestrian crossings and median treatments. South Park Drive from Highway 13 to Louisiana Avenue would be converted to a 3-lane roadway. South Park Drive is a Municipal State Aid route, so Municipal State Aid Construction funds will constitute the primary funding source.
