What’s next for 35th SW Safety Project? Final plan due by mid-July

After public meetings, petition drives, and a walking tour, the city’s final plan for 35th SW will be announced by mid-July. That’s what SDOT project manager Jim Curtin told us when we checked in with him today. Once a meeting date is finalized for the second week of July, SDOT will announce it in a variety of ways, including via postal-mail postcards to residences, businesses, and others on and near 35th SW in the project zone, from Fauntleroy Way SW south to SW Roxbury. The latter, of course, has its own changes in the works, as announced in April, and that work will be done first, Curtin tells WSB: “We intend to combine our work on Roxbury and 35th to save on construction crew mobilization costs. Work on Roxbury is expected to start the week of (August) 17th and we intend to move over to 35th as soon as Roxbury is complete. I believe work on 35th would begin in early to mid-September.” SDOT unveiled “design alternatives” for 35 in March; during last month’s lightly attended walking tour (WSB coverage here), Curtin said “Option A” was looking the most promising for most of the project zone.

    You know, I’ve been paying attention to areas that have the “option A” in use (univ village area…) and I think this is a great move for this area. Looking forward to the changes.

    Please don’t change 35th and just enforce the current status.
    Thank you!

    Can’t help but agree with others – we don’t need yet another road reduced to “slow down drivers and prevent accidents”. I’ve had the opportunity recently to drive some of the referenced area roads – you just end up with idling cars and long lines. We need more drivers to take responsibility behind the wheel and, yes, enforce the speed limit. It is not Daytona and, yes, the speed limit is 35.

    Thank you!
