SUMMARY:
A resolution of support is required to authorize the City to enter into a Local Agency Program agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation and accept the federal-aid funds in the amount of $86,710.
City staff requested and successfully received professional engineering / design funding through the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Transportation Alternatives Program for multi-modal improvements including sidewalks to connect Legion Field and Global Learning Academy. The funds are available in FDOT’s work plan in the amount of $86,710. This project will be comprised of three segments that will connect Legion Field Park to the Global Learning Academy Elementary School. Segment 1 will consist of the design of a concrete sidewalk on both sides of L Street from Gregory to Cervantes for .42 miles. Also included in this segment is on-street parking and bicycle and pedestrian wayfinding signage. Segment 2 will consist of the design of .39 miles of buffered concrete sidewalk on both sides, shared lane markings and wayfinding signage on Gregory Street from Pace Blvd to I Street. The final segment will consist of the design of a concrete sidewalk for .07 miles on both sides of Wright Street from P Street to Pace Blvd and includes wayfinding and bicycle signage.
This project has been a transportation priority for the City of Pensacola and advocated for by submitting a Transportation Alternatives application to FDOT. The City has been approved by the Florida Department of Transportation to enter into local agency program agreement on a project-by-project basis and such agreements are required for assistance through federal-aid funds. Construction is funded in FY 2025 and FY 2026, and a separate resolution will need be approved by Council at that time.
