North Woodrow Wilson Street Sidewalk Improvements CDBG

This project proposes the addition of sidewalk on the east side of N. Woodrow Wilson Street from W. Lowry Avenue to the CSX railroad. Work includes flexible paving, grading, drainage, concrete sidewalks & driveways, stripping, signage, tree removal, sodding, and the replacement of an existing potable watermain and appurtenances. Coordinating relocation of underground private utilities will be accommodated within the project schedule.

On June 2020, representatives from Hillsborough County Public Schools, City of Plant City, Plant City Police Department, and the Transportation Planning Organization met to review hazard locations that students, who live within two (2) miles of their assigned school, and would otherwise be ineligible for state funded transportation services, would be subjected to walk to and from home and school. N. Woodrow Wilson Street between W. Lowry Avenue to the CSX railroad tracks does not contain any existing sidewalks or walking space for students to utilize. Specifically, less than four (4) feet of walk space off the edge of road pavement exist between W. Lowry Avenue and W. Moody Avenue. This project aims to provide a safe and accessible walk path between W. Lowry Avenue to the CSX railroad. Future phases of sidewalk improvements, south of the CSX railroad, are currently underway.
