Riviere Road – Roadway Improvements

PID #004616A

Last updated July 2022

Project Overview

This project will address roadway, drainage and sidewalk improvements along Riviere Road in Palm Harbor. The project begins at Tampa Road and continues north for approximately 1 mile to the intersection of Nebraska Avenue.

The existing roadway has two travel lanes with roadside ditches, sporadic sidewalks on both sides and a posted speed limit of 30 mph. The roadway was last milled and resurfaced in 2017.

The proposed design for the project includes constructing 10.5-foot lanes to make the lane width consistent in each direction. The project will add curbing and gutters to both sides of the roadway, address roadway drainage and upgrade the sidewalks. An ADA-compliant 5-foot-wide sidewalk is planned for the east side of the road and a 10-foot-wide trail is planned for the west side.

A study will also evaluate the need for a mid-block pedestrian crossing with a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) located just south of Landon Terrace to connect residents to Putnam Park.
