Delray Beach

Osceola Park Neighborhood is now one of the hottest areas for redeveloment.  It charming place was originally platted over 100 years ago (1912/1913). It is currently part of the City of Delray Beach's neighborhood improvement project to reestablish the service life of critical infrastructure.

The Neighborhood location is just south of Delray Beach's central business district (also know as "The Avenue", "The Ave" "Downtown Delray" and is is bounded by Swinton Avenue East, SE 2nd Street at the north and SE 10th Street at the south; Federal Highway (US-1) where the new IPIC Movie Theatre and Aloft Hotel are now located. A brand new 60,000-square-foot food hall is coming to Delray Beach in 2020 that will feature 35 chefs and operators. The area has almost 1,000 residential and commercial parcels.

City's Project Description:
The goal of this project is to design a project that will reconstruct and retrofit the neighborhood’s existing public infrastructure to meet the needs of area residents, businesses and visitors. The primary components of the project include:
• Resurfacing or reconstruction of 3.9 miles of roadway;
• Construction of 1.2 miles of new permeable pavement alleyways;
• Complete temporary traffic calming “pilot projects” and seek neighborhood input for permanent use;
• Reestablish the existing potable water, sanitary and storm sewer systems as new;
• Improve area drainage and landscaped parkways;
• Improve sidewalk deficiencies (fill in gaps and replace trip hazards);
• Improve landscaping,
• Analyze and improve the area’s street lighting, and
• Relocation of existing power poles as needed.

The City also requested that any sustainable “best practices” to address water quality also be considered as part of this project scope. These considerations will include permeable pavement for alleys, bio-swales in parkways and other ways to treat stormwater runoff.

Another key component of this project is to complete public outreach throughout the design process and there will be multiple ways for residents to monitor the project’s progress and provide input. Please monitor this website for project updates, future meetings and, opportunities to provide your input to make this project the best it can be!
