WGI was retained to prepare a project feasibility report and provide grant writing assistance for the 2020 Palm Beach County Transportation Agency (TPA) Transportation Alternatives Program grant cycle. The project location, Cherry Road, connects a residential community with a commercial corridor and is heavily traveled by pedestrians and transit users but has disconnected sidewalks and no bicycle facilities. WGI prepared a master plan graphic, designed typical crosssection alternatives and cost estimates for pedestrian safety improvements, which included a 10’ multi-use path, traffic calming, additional landscape, pedestrian-scale lighting, and a protected mid-block crossing. WGI staff was also involved with public outreach and meeting with stakeholders. The project was awarded a $1 million grant from the TPA grant program.
