Access changes to Ed Stone Park, St. Johns Marina, Old New York Avenue, and Shady Oaks will be included as part of this design project. Improvements also include new stormwater ponds and safety enhancements. The bridge will be designed to accommodate a future 12-foot multi-use trail. The proposed improvements will enhance safety and access along S.R. 44. This design project is scheduled for completion in Spring 2018.
