Waveland Avenue Sidewalks
The City of Waveland is in the beginning stage of construction of the new 5’ wide sidewalk from Highway 90 to  CSX railroad along both sides of Waveland Avenue. The professional service for design and project management selected for the Waveland Avenue sidewalk project is Chiniche Engineering and Surveying.  The contractor for the sidewalk project is DNA Underground. ​

Workers begin the first phase of the sidewalk project on Waveland Avenue.

​Waveland Avenue will remain open throughout the duration of the project, although intermittent lane closures may occur as needed to accommodate construction.  

The project is broken down into four sections in order to reduce the inconvenience to homeowners along Waveland Avenue.  The first section of construction will be from Highway 90 to Rue De Lasalle, second section is Rue De Lasalle to Herlihy, third section is Herlihy to Sycamore and final section is Sycamore to end of project.  All drainage will be complete, cut driveways repaired and sidewalks complete before the contractor can proceed to the next section of project. ​

This project has been in the works since 2015, and I’m excited to see we are finally heading down the home stretch. The project will make travel a lot easier and safer for pedestrians. It is anticipated that the project will be completed during the summer of 2020.
