Work on major infrastructure upgrades along Delaney Avenue in Orlando is about 50 percent completed.
The city is working with Gibbs and Register to make enhancements to the sidewalk and roadway and sanitary sewer, potable water, and stormwater systems.
The section of Delaney Avenue from Briercliff Drive to just south of the roundabout at Miller Street, within the Historic District, will be rebuilt as a brick roadway, so as to preserve its unique heritage. The remainder of Delany Avenue below the Historic District will be built as a new asphalt roadway to improve one’s driving experience. Upgrading sewer systems will improve reliability and efficiency and improvements to stormwater systems will mitigate risks from flooding and address drainage concerns.
The sidewalks will be made wider on the east side of the street for accessibility and safety of pedestrians. There will also be new curbs and gutters that are intended to improve the stormwater drainage to the storm drain system of the city. Pedestrian ramps that are ADA-compliant will also make these corners more accessible for everyone and safer.
Lastly, the roundabouts at Grant Street and Miller Street will be replaced that are designed to improve safety and traffic flow. Speed tables will also be added for traffic calming.
Brochure printing can be used to provide more details on such improvements and their benefits for residents and visitors.
The expected completion date of this project is the end of this year.
