Dorchester Street Sidewalk

Project Description

The Greater Port Charlotte Street & Drainage MSBU advisory board has requested the design and construction of a new 6' sidewalk on Dorchester Street, Bachmann Boulevard and Yancy Street.

Project Location

This project will include the design of new 6-foot sidewalks on the Southside of Bachmann Boulevard from Atwater Street to Dorchester Street, on the West side of Dorchester Street from Bachmann Boulevard to Yancy Street, and the West side of Yancy Street from Dorchester Street to Midway Boulevard.

Latest Updates

At the recommendation of the advisory board, the project was divided into two phases, with Phase 1 beginning at Midway Boulevard and extending to Peachland Boulevard. Phase 1 is currently underway. The new water main has been installed, testing has been completed, and it has been submitted to the FDEP for approval. When that is received, house services will be transferred to the new main and work on the sidewalk and driveways will begin. A change order was issued, adding 155 days to the contract time for the delay of getting the power poles relocated out of the way for the installation of the water main and sidewalk.
