36th Street from North Australian Avenue to North Flagler Drive

The Florida Department of Transportation District 4 sought to reconfigure the existing roadway to incorporate shared use paths/bike lanes along 36th Street, from North Australian Avenue to North Flagler Drive, in West Palm Beach. 36th Street is a city street and is part of the city’s master bicycle route system.

Erdman Anthony was selected to provide design services for the project.

The original scope for this 1.07-mile mobility project included two new pedestrian bridges over Carver Canal on either side of the existing bridge. The city of West Palm Beach later decided to replace the existing bridge with a new bridge that will include pedestrian features and not to construct the pedestrian bridges. Other improvements includes new shared use paths, new sidewalks, and pedestrian-scale lighting along the corridor.

In addition, the existing railroad crossings and pedestrian ramps will be brought up to ADA standards.

The improvements will focus on reducing maintenance and enhancing safety and convenience for the traveling public and residents.
