• Relocating existing palms to the curb to extend sidewalk area on both sides of A1A
• Upgrading hardscape elements including colored, decorative concrete
• Installing site furnishing elements including accent seating and bollards
• Installing LED pedestrian lights along the west side of A1A that will provide amber-colored lighting during turtle nesting season and white lighting during the remainder of the year
