This corridor serves as a major urban collector road for residential access, bus service, pedestrians, cyclists, beach access and numerous utilities. The road provides immediate coastal access for emergency response and medical services.

The Department of Public Works and its consultants have developed potential alternatives to continue a route that can maintain roadway services.

During the online meeting, the public will be able to review the project information and offer comments on mitigation alternatives. Feedback received from this meeting will be considered in further project planning and implementation.
