Dixie Highway /Olive Avenue Street Master Planning, West Palm Beach, FL This award - winning project involved developing a master plan for the downtown street system in West Palm Beach. FDOT allocated funds to resurface the City's streets and contracted with design consultants to do the work.

This list included such things as wider sidewalks to encourage pedestrian activity, on- street parking, traffic calming features, and landscape enhancements. The project also involved the redesignation V US 1 to bypass downtown, and the transfer of downtown streets from FDOT control to City control. Kimley -Horn coordinated all utility relocation and upgrades to take advantage of the street reconstruction. Partnering with FDOT was critical to this project to ensure that minimum design criteria were met and that the City's goals and objectives were also upheld. We also assisted the City with identifying multiple funding sources for the improvements. The improvements have now been constructed.
