A five block stretch of sidewalk was constructed in Richmond Beach. It goes from very near to Richmond Beach Road to the entrance of Richmond Beach Saltwater Park.
 |
| The sidewalk runs along the west side of 20th Ave NW from NW 190th to NW 195th |
Sidewalk construction is a big project. It takes a long time and causes a lot of disruption. It also often surprises residents who find out their property doesn't extend to the street.

Now the work is completed on 20th Ave NW and the detour signs and construction crews are gone.
Pedestrians are safely separated from cars and beautiful RB Saltwater Park has a sidewalk connecting existing pedestrian facilities to the entrance of Richmond Beach Saltwater Park.

It does look nice and has provided a safe place to walk. However, there is no more street parking on that side and the other side has signs saying, “no parking on walkway.” Not sure what is meant by “walkway.” One problem solved, another problem created.
There is a local business across from the Wild Horse that keeps parking trucks where it says “no parking” and this further narrows the street. The no parking expectation needs to be enforced. Additional problem is the useless location of the crosswalk and speed bump. There should be at least two of them and they should be near the streets that link to 20th. Strange that the speeding issue was not remedied.
