Summary:
The sidewalk improvements on Hercules Avenue North consists of constructing ADA compliant sidewalks on both sides of Hercules Avenue North, piping existing ditches, pedestrian bridge, concrete box culvert extension, drainage and intersection improvements from Sherwood Street to Sunset Point Road. The upgrades at the intersection of Hercules Avenue North and Calumet Street include traffic mast arms, pedestrian signals, crosswalks, and sidewalk ramps.
Additionally, the City of Clearwater entered into a Joint Project Agreement (JPA) with the County for the purpose of the County’s contractor performing the City’s utility replacement work as part of this contract. The City’s utility work consists of the replacement of a twelve-inch (12") water main, eight-inch (8") water main, and eight-inch (8") gravity sanitary sewer pipe and associated manholes that are in conflict with the County’s project. The City will place on deposit with the County advanced funding to compensate the contractor for the City’s portion of work.

This project, Phase II from Sherwood Street to Sunset Point Road, includes sidewalk improvements along the north and south sides of Hercules Avenue North to provide continuous connectivity and a safe walking environment compliant with current standards and ADA requirements. The intersection upgrades will improve safety, provide operational improvements, reduce the frequency of crashes, and provide pedestrian and bicyclist features.
