Lincoln Road District Redevelopment Project Commencement of Construction for
Phase 2 Drexel Ave Improvements.
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to provide an update to the Mayor and City
Commission regarding the commencement of construction activities for the Lincoln Road District
Redevelopment project, Phase 2 Drexel Ave Improvements.
On February 3, 2025, the City Commission awarded the Invitation to Bid (1TB) 2025-086-ND for
the Drexel Avenue Improvements to Buslam Company Partners, Inc. (Buslam) and on May 16,
2025, City staff issued Notice to Proceed 1 (NTP 1) for pre-construction activities. Upon completion
of permitting and receipt of prerequisite submittals, the City issued NTP 2 to Buslam effective July
24, 2025, to commence construction activities. The construction duration is 10 months with the
anticipated completion scheduled for May 2026.
Drexel Avenue improvements include streetscape improvements from 16 St. to Lincoln Lane South
and the pedestrianization of Drexel Avenue from Lincoln Lane South to Lincoln Lane North. The
scope of work includes storm drainage installation, paving, striping, pavers, landscaping,
hardscape, irrigation, lighting and pedestrian access with a new outdoor performance space at
Lincoln Road.
Temporary construction fencing has been installed and Buslam has started the underground work.
Pedestrian access for the Lincoln Road corridor (East/West) is available along the north side of
the corridor and will be restored along the south side as soon as the underground work is
completed. Construction schedule may change due to inclement weather or unexpected
conditions. A ground breaking ceremony is being coordinated and will be announced at a later
date.
