- Constructing left-turn lanes in both directions at Palm Beach Drive, Dolphin Drive and Gulf View Drive

- Constructing eastbound left-turn lanes at Gainous Road and Twin Lakes Drive

- Constructing westbound left-turn lanes at Marlin Avenue and Lahan Boulevard

- Constructing eastbound right-turn lanes at Camp Helen State Park, Le Grand Drive, Twin Lakes Drive, Christmas Tree Lane, Kelly Street, Lahan Boulevard, Cobb Road and the Front Beach Road signalized intersection

- Constructing westbound right-turn lane at Lake Powell Drive

- Upgrading pedestrian features at the Front Beach Road signalized intersection to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards

No additional right-of-way is needed. Bids for construction will be received spring 2021.
