SUMMARY:
On November 6, 2017, the CRA approved Supplemental Budget Resolution No. 2017-19 CRA, funding the Jefferson Street Road Diet Project. This streetscape improvement project focuses on the western side of Jefferson Street, between Romana and Intendencia Streets, adjacent to the Saenger Theatre. The location of these improvements is opposite streetscape improvements constructed as a part of the Southtowne mixed use project on the eastern side of Jefferson Street.
The completed Southtowne project is a transformative redevelopment of the former Pensacola News Journal site. The significant level of private investment made in this project has provided a major boost to the downtown segment of the CRA Urban Core. The new residential units have increased the population living in downtown.
The proposed CRA sidewalk project will complement the Southtowne improvements by constructing the second half of a road diet on a portion of Jefferson Street. It will further enhance the neighborhood by narrowing the roadway, providing traffic calming, and a safer, more walkable environment for residents.
