4 issues in roads with medium priority
Frankford Avenue and South Discovery Loop road reconstruction
A small fix with big everyday impact: the new westernmost section of Discovery Loop gets renamed so its addresses stop colliding with the original street — ending years of crossed deliveries between two 1421 addresses.
Robinson Bayou Bridge refurbishment
A $700,000 state grant plus $149,515 in local surtax money will rehab the bridge for another 15-20 years and add a pedestrian bridge.
Frankford Avenue Trail design grant
The city picked an engineering firm to design the rail-trail from Hathaway Bridge through multiple phases, connecting the port, FSU, Gulf Coast State, schools, and parks for bikes and pedestrians.
Pedestrian safety on Harrison Avenue at Bay High
The state is funding safer crossings on Harrison Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets, right next to Bay High School, at zero cost to the city. The commission endorsed it unanimously.
