Body
Background:
The Northwest (NW) Neighborhood Improvements Project (Project) is a Capital Improvements Project managed by the City of Delray Beach (City) and funded by the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The Project is currently in the design phase and will include significant infrastructure improvements: rebuilding the roadway, new curbing, new sidewalks, new street lighting, new water main, replacing the existing sewer main, drainage improvements, and new landscaping within the City’s right-of-way. The Project is expected to begin construction sometime in 2024.
Prior to completing the design phase of the Project, the City needs to address issues related to right-of-way ownership. Some areas of the NW Neighborhood have missing sections of continuous City ownership of the right-of-way, and in order for the City to construct or repair any City-owned infrastructure that is currently located on CRA-owned property, the City needs a Right-Of-Way Deed executed.
The CRA is the owner of the below Properties that require a Right-Of-Way Deed executed:

West Atlantic Avenue |
|
12-43-46-17-16-006-0060 |
West Atlantic Avenue |
At this time, CRA staff recommends the CRA Board approve the three (3) Right-Of-Way Deed Agreements with the City for the CRA-owned Properties with PCN: 12-43-46-17-22-001-0090, PCN: 12-43-46-17-22-002-0100, and PCN: 12-43-46-17-16-006-0060 for the purpose of facilitating the completion of the right-of-way infrastructure improvements that are currently being designed as a part of the NW Neighborhood Improvements Project.
