Community Redevelopment Agency seeks additional public input for Cordova Street improvement project
Public workshop scheduled for Thursday, June 5
The City of St. Augustine Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in collaboration with its consultant, Inspire Placemaking Collective, Inc., will host a second public engagement opportunity for the Historic Area Community Redevelopment Area (HACRA) Cordova Street Improvement project. A public workshop will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2025, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at the Governor’s House Cultural Center and Museum, located at 48 King Street. Residents, businesses, and stakeholders are invited to attend the workshop to offer input and share ideas to improve Cordova Street. Attendees are encouraged to walk or bike to the workshop. Refreshments will be served.
Staff and the consultant team will present opportunities and challenges, overall design principles, preliminary design ideas, and gather feedback from the public. Improvements are specific to the section of Cordova Street north of King Street to the northernmost plaza adjacent to the Visitor’s Information Center (VIC). Improvements can include typical cross sections for the corridor, streetscape furnishings, hardscape, and landscape treatments with low impact development and green infrastructure.
As part of a robust public engagement process, a unique Cordova Street Website has been created to provide information about the project and for the public to give input on the future of Cordova Street through interactive activities such as surveys, maps, and prioritizing improvement options. The website also includes the project schedule, goals, key dates, draft documents, upcoming meetings, meeting summaries, and other relevant related information as it becomes available.
