The City of St. Augustine Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in collaboration with its consultant, Inspire Placemaking Collective, Inc., will host a public engagement opportunity for the Historic Area Community Redevelopment Area (HACRA) Cordova Street Improvement project on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, from 5:30pm to 7:00pm in the Alcazar Room at City Hall, 75 King Street. Residents, businesses, and stakeholders are invited to attend the workshop to offer input and share ideas to improve Cordova Street. 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 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. Access the website here.
