Public Workshop for the Lake Avenue Streetscape Phase II Improvements Project

The City of Rehoboth Beach invites the public to attend a presentation to receive information about the Lake Avenue Streetscape Phase II Improvements Project. The purpose of the presentation is to provide an opportunity for the public to review and discuss the plans for the proposed improvements and provide input. The workshop will take place on Monday, January 27, beginning at 10 a.m. at City Hall, 229 Rehoboth Avenue, in the 2nd-floor commissioners room.

The project includes enhancements along Olive Avenue and Maryland Avenue from Third Street to Second Street, including the triangular grass island in the middle of the two roads and Second Street from Olive Avenue to Rehoboth Avenue. One of the main objectives of the project is to provide safe, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalks and crosswalks. The project includes a minor realignment of the streets and intersections to more safely control traffic movements and shorten pedestrian crossings. Other improvements will include constructing a new stormwater management facility within the center island, upgrading the existing drainage system and installing crosswalks at all intersections. Construction for the Lake Avenue Streetscape Phase II Improvements Project is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2020.
