CITY PROJECTS UPDATES
Cherry Grove Public Parking Lot Restrooms
Moving Overhead Utilities Underground
The City’s program of placing above- ground utilities underground has resumed with the construction on North Ocean Boulevard between 29th Avenue North and 34th Avenue North. This project has reached 50% completion, with most underground conduits and vaults installed. The next phase will consist of utility company installation of their wires and equipment. The anticipated completion is Fall 2025. This project consists of converting overhead electrical and communications wiring to an underground conduit system; then, removing the overhead wiring and power poles. Similar conversion projects have been accomplished throughout the City with positive results. Please be advised, drivers may experience delays, lane closures, and detours as the project progresses along North Ocean Boulevard from 29th Avenue North to 34th Avenue North. The City has initiated design for an additional segment, extending this project from 34th Avenue North to 39th Avenue North, with construction to follow in late 2025.
The Cherry Grove Public Parking Lot Restrooms, located near 62nd Avenue North, are nearing completion. These public restrooms will be similar to the public restrooms at Shorehaven Drive and 21st Avenue South.
Barefoot Swing Bridge Beginning January 13, the Barefoot Swing Bridge will operate with only one lane for approximately 60 days. During this time, the sidewalk will be replaced, and routine maintenance performed. Drivers should anticipate traffic delays and temporary traffic signals.
